How herpes seizes proteins’ means of production

The Graham and Crump groups at the University of Cambridge and the Svergun Group at EMBL Hamburg have discovered a mechanism by which the herpes simplex virus takes control of the molecular machinery of human cells. Their work reveals how a dedicated viral protein hijacks key host proteins, forcing…

The image shows an infographic about how Morgana software works. In the first box, Morgana is fed with images – human brain organoids, zebrafish explants, intestinal organoids, or other – acquired with different microscopy devices – from stereoscopic microscopes to confocal to high content screening microscopes. In the second image it’s portrayed how the platform segments the images with machine learning algorithms. The third box represents quantification in a modular format. That means that it can be adapted to the experiment and organoid type, being able to choose the relevant features for each case.
