Out today in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! We found that coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), associated with increased risk of #T1D, infects all human pancreas cell types, not just beta cells. Great collab w/ Hubert Tse (KUMC). Led by WashU DBBS PhD student Daniel Veronese-Paniagua www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Coxsackievirus B infection invokes unique cell-type-specific responses in primary human pancreatic islets
Veronese-Paniagua et al. demonstrate that coxsackievirus B3 infects all primary human

A few days ago marked my 10th anniversary as a faculty member at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
I arrived in 2015 as an Assistant Professor, excited but nervous to start my own lab.
Today, I’m a Full Professor, reflecting on an incredible decade. 🧵
