Cryo-EM maps of GluA2/TARP-γ2 (red) and GluA3/TARP-γ2 (green)

New research from @igreger.bsky.social group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, show that GluA3 adopts a structural organization that substantially diverges from all the other AMPA receptors.

Excited to share our preprint: "A Cellular Basis for Heightened Gut Sensitivity in Females."
doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Experts Call NIH Budget Cuts an 'Apocalypse' for Science The reductions target indirect costs that cover administrative and equipment costs.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.
