Control and inhibition of virus replication

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets.

How does myosin 10 contribute to filopodia formation and stability?

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

How do cells make filopodia? Filopodia are thin protrusions that act as pathfinders in cell migration, helping cells to sense where to go, and pulling cells through the extracellular matrix, especially important in driving cancer cell metastasis. Read more
