New data from I. Morales et al illuminate research in vaccinia virus
October 8th, 2008
According to recent research from Heidelberg, Germany, "We previously showed that infection with vaccinia virus (VV) induces cell motility, characterized by contractility and directed migration. Motility is temporally regulated because cells are motile immediately after infection, whereas late in infection motility ceases and cells resettle." "Motility and its cessation are accompanied by temporal rearrangements of both the microtubule and the actin networks. Because the F11L gene has previously been implicated in VV-induced migration, we now explore the role of F11L in contractility, migration, the cessation of motility and the cytoskeletal rearrangements. By live cell...
