[HTML][HTML] Autophagy in immunity and inflammation

B Levine, N Mizushima, HW Virgin - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
Autophagy is an essential, homeostatic process by which cells break down their own
components. Perhaps the most primordial function of this lysosomal degradation pathway is …

[HTML][HTML] Redefining chronic viral infection

HW Virgin, EJ Wherry, R Ahmed - Cell, 2009 - cell.com
Viruses that cause chronic infection constitute a stable but little-recognized part of our
metagenome: our virome. Ongoing immune responses hold these chronic viruses at bay while …

[HTML][HTML] After the pandemic: perspectives on the future trajectory of COVID-19

…, RF Garry, EC Holmes, PS Pang, HW Virgin - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
There is a realistic expectation that the global effort in vaccination will bring the pandemic
