Excited to share my first paper from my postdoc! In this study, we demonstrate that the mu opioid receptor produces a second wave of G protein activity on endosomes in a manner that doesn’t require receptor internalization. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is figure 1, which shows a summary of genomic findings for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.

A Review in Nature Reviews Genetics discusses how genomic advances have enhanced our understanding of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, which could address limitations in diagnostic frameworks and future treatment strategies. go.nature.com/44bKTuy 🧬 🧪
