Scientists at the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences at UC Irvine report that they have developed a powerful new tool, called Phollow, that lets scientists watch viral activity in the gut microbiome of living animals with unprecedented precision—down to a single viral particle. Led by Travis Wiles, PhD, assistant professor, the study … offers…

Congratulations to Alex Moshensky (Marangoni Lab) on his newly funded F31 through NIAMS! His project “Disentangling the Epidermal Immune Crosstalk in Inflammatory Skin Disease” looks at excessive neutrophil recruitment due to a skin-specific knockout of OVOL1 in response to damage to the skin. This is a collaborative effort with Dr. Xing Dai.
