Excited to share our work on #AncientRNA from alcohol-preserved lungs, recovering the oldest human RNA virus genome (an 18th-century rhinovirus). Our study shows that viral RNA remnants persist in centuries-old tissue, opening new ways to study virus evolution and historical disease #Paleovirology🫁🦠 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.29.702071v1

Very Happy to share the very first paper of the Lab! Qing Yang & Ben Nilsson-Payant found that modulating Influenza NS1 levels reveals a ranking in its inhibitory roles: IFN < ISGs < UPR. Huge thanks to Ben tenOever for his helpful advice! For many more to come 🥂 bit.ly/NS1Priority https://bit.ly/NS1Priority
