Preprint #3 - we uncover an intriguing mechanism of how #pseudorabiesvirus ( #PRV ) hijacks host #DDX3X to travel along axons in #sensoryneurons ….

…which initiates an #addictive “ #maditch ” and immune suppression, both facilitating viral spread – crazy!

Happy to share our second preprint of the year… we show that increased #BH4 in #dopamine -producing neurons protects mice, primary cells from individuals with #Parkinson ’s disease (PD) and human midbrain-like #organoids from PD stressors……
