OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, 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.
