OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Flaviviruses are enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses that hijack intracellular membranes to generate compartments for virion assembly and secretion. Autophagy is one such process that viruses routinely manipulate by diverting its physiological function to their own advantage. Lipid droplets are key organelles that reside at the interface of host immunity and infection. Autophagy-mediated lipid droplet degradation and its implications in progeny virion assembly and secretion will be discussed.
