Ancient DNA from grape seeds spanning 4,000 years reveals the domestication, cultivation, and trade of grapes in France over this period, according to research in Nature Communications. The authors find that one Medieval sample is genetically identical to modern Pinot Noir grapes. 🧬 🏺 🧪
Ancient DNA reveals 4000 years of grapevine diversity, viticulture and clonal propagation in France - Nature Communications
Here, the authors present aDNA from 49 grape pips spanning the Bronze Age to Medieval period in France and surrounding areas. They find evidence of long-distance exchange of domestic varieties through vegetative clones and one Medieval sample that is nearly identical to modern Pinot Noir.

Happy 134th birthday to humans knowing that viruses exist! OTD in 1892 Dmitri Ivanovsky presented his evidence of a tobacco mosaic disease caused by filterable agents (not bacteria!). Martinus Beijerinck confirmed this independently in 1898. And voila, virology is born!

Why does the common cold knock some of us down while others barely sniffle?

Excited to share our new paper published in @cellpressblue.bsky.social revealing how nasal epithelial cells coordinate to defend against Rhinovirus.

Rhinovirus triggers distinct host responses through differential engagement of epithelial innate immune signaling

#Interferons protect against #ViralInfection, but can hinder tissue repair - how? @ellenfoxman.bsky.social &co show that high IFN levels suppress #BronchialCell migration & proliferation during tissue repair via JAK-driven LATS1 activation, independent of STAT1 @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4k1pyKA
Top: Type III interferon alters the nuclear localization of the transcriptional co-regulator YAP during wound healing of human bronchial epithelial cells. Micrographs show localization or YAP (red) relative to the cell nucleus (blue) in cells adjacent to a scratch in the monolayer (dark area, right of images). In untreated cultures, YAP is present in most nuclei (purple nuclei, left panel) whereas in the presence of Type III interferon, the percentage of cells with nuclear YAP is greatly reduced (blue nuclei, right panel). Image credit: Krupakar Subramaniam. Bottom: Model. Type III and Type I IFN receptor signaling activate LATS1 to curtail tissue repair during acute viral infection. Left-hand panel: During acute viral infection, high concentrations of Type III and/or Type I IFN receptor signaling trigger JAK-dependent, STAT1-independent phosphorylation of LATS1, leading to phosphorylation and degradation of YAP and reduced tissue repair activities mediated by YAP target genes. In rapidly proliferating cell types, active LATS1/2 also blocks repair in part via a p53-dependent mechanism. Right-hand panel: During resolution of viral infection, lower concentrations of Type III and/or Type I IFN may continue to activate STAT1-mediated antiviral defenses but no longer activate LATS1/2, allowing epithelial repair to resume.

Rhinoviruses cause common cold & asthma attacks but are also often benign. Using nasal organoids, we learned how the community of cells in the lining the nasal passages coordinates to respond to rhinovirus and which responses lead to excess mucus & inflammation. www.cell.com/cell-press-b...

Check out our new print that combines dense sequencing and phylodynamics to uncover a bunch of 😎 things about an understudied virus.

- Doesn't evolve for 10 months a year ✅
- Uses some mossies for maintenance, others for spread ✅
- Established in Northeast for ~300 years ✅
