Virology Live #11: The Infected Cell

The production of new virus particles depends on the host cell's biosynthetic and metabolic capabilities, signal transduction pathways, and trafficking systems. In this session we discuss an integrated description of how virus infection redirects and often compromises normal cell physiology.

– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday and Sunday mornings.

I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

Thanks Vincent for another great lecture.

It's incredible that scientists have managed to work out such an extraordinary amount of detail of the links in so many complex molecular pathways, but it is hopeless for anyone with less than a photographic memory and total recall to take them in. :/ It fills me with wonder to listen to these lectures, but I wish I could hold onto all the info long enough to use it to complete a mental picture of all that goes on in the cell and virus particle. One thing that might help, is if each of the abbreviations could be translated into words that explain the acronym, and then, if you could say the words, followed by the acronym, each time it occurs. Then, when we see the acronyms on their own in these metabolic diagrams, we will automaticise the recall of what they really mean. This would probably help you, Vincent, to remember them all too--as you have to repeat them much more than we do. :) We should remember that acronyms were really meant for reducing space and time taken up by writing long words and phrases over and again: when we are speaking, the repetition doesn't take up much time at all, but would help the memory, and make for a more confident student.

Many thanks for the amazing work you do. (y)
