Funded by @ERC_Research, a new study from the lab out in @NatureComms discovers how a tiny protein called CD59 provides a last line of defence against a giant b-barrel immune pore. rdcu.be/c5L1L. @EmmaCouves @TomasVoisin @scott_d_gardner @TateScience @pstansfeld

Computational resources provided by @hecbiosim allowed us to see how the lipid environment could tip the balance between CD59 as an immune regulator or host receptor hijacked by bacterial virulence factors.

Delighted this paper on IFITM3, with twist of bats, is finally published. Huge thanks to all co-authors including @MarkCPMarsh @PaulKellam_2 @edwardcholmes @TateScience @MRC_LMCB
A new comparative immunology study by Benfield et al. examines the evolution and function of bat antiviral IFITM proteins, helping us to understand how bats host, and seemingly tolerate, numerous zoonotic viruses. @CamillaBenfield @RoyalVetCollege bit.ly/36lb8hA
