Excited to see Ryan Walter’s work showing both pro- and anti-viral roles of the cellular ATRX protein during productive HCMV infection is out @PLOSPathogens! 🥳 Congrats to Ryan & shout-out to our @MadisonVirology colleague @Majumder_Lab for the assist! journals.plos.org/plospathog…

ATRX restricts Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) viral DNA replication through heterochromatinization...

Author summary Viruses infect host cells and often kill them, so cells encode proteins geared to protect them from viral predators. Viruses, as obligate intracellular parasites, rely on host cell...

Throwback Friday. Any trainee know what this is? Hint: it is 180 degrees opposite of what Jim Alwine invented.
