The Trojan Horse is real, and it’s microscopic! 🐴🦠
Our paper is out today in @cellcellpress.bsky.social!
We discovered that deltaviruses physically hide INSIDE helper viruses to sneak into new cells. And to prove it, we had to image them from every angle. 🧵👇

Using post-mortem human brain explants with @jvirolb.bsky.social and @gaudinlab.bsky.social, we could instigate RDeV replication within neural cells and show that upon VSV infection, these dual particles could be formed!
Neurons in 🟢, vessels in🟣 DNA in 🟡 and deltavirus in 🔵.

The Réseau thématique Virus-Cerveau @inserm.fr is pleased to announce that we will be organising our first 'Virus & Brain' International Workshop. @cnrs.fr
🧠Virus & Brain - 1st International Workshop
📅2-3 June 2026
📍Montpellier, France
During her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Adriano Sebollela (@uspoficial.bsky.social), Glaucia studied the molecular and cellular biology of viral neuroinfections associated with brain disorders, including neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits.
The PhD work of Glaucia de Almeida, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the team working on viral neuroinfections using spatial proteomics, was recently highlighted in g1 Ribeirão e Franca.

Thrilled to announce our @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social Opinion paper with @emmapartiot.bsky.social & @gaudinlab.bsky.social, sharing our perspective and views on "cognitive virology"! 1/6
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
We introduce cognitive virology as an integrative framework to decipher how viral infections interfere with synaptic homeostasis, neuronal signaling, and ultimately alter our neurocognitive status! @irim-life.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @umontpellier.bsky.social 2/2
Excited to share our new Opinion paper "When viral infections rewire neural circuits: towards cognitive virology", written by @jvirolb.bsky.social @emmapartiot.bsky.social & Raph @gaudinlab.bsky.social, just published in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social 1/2
