The main story of my PhD research project is finally out in @JCellBiol today! rupress.org/jcb/article/22… We were looking at how Vaccinia virus circumvents host immunity by disabling the autophagy machinery through depletion of sequestome-like receptors (SLRs). For a 🧵see below:

#Curious2024 was an amazing conference! Many thanks for accepting my abstract and waiving the conference fee @FutureInsight. It has been a great pleasure to hear so many distinguished scientists speak on their work!

I've seen a lot of PhD students around me getting very stressed lately about not producing results, worrying they will never pass or publish. So I went through my PhD paper and labelled what I produced when. Conclusion: I could have been on the beach for all of year 2 😉

Vaccinia virus subverts xenophagy through phosphorylation and nuclear targeting of p62, say Melanie Krause @m_krause0206, Jason Mercer @MercerLab and colleagues @ucl @UoBbiosciences: hubs.la/Q02w9ZWT0 @SamolejJ @ayakimovich @kvjanos @MoonaHuttunen @SamuelLaraR @FrickelLab

.@m_krause0206 @MercerLab et al. @ucl @UoBbiosciences show that cytosolic replicating poxviruses disarm xenophagy during early infection by targeting a subset of #autophagy receptors required for pathogen detection hubs.la/Q02w9BHJ0 #Virology
