Excited to share that another part of my postdoctoral work is now published in @CellCellPress ! 🔬💡
We developed a photoswitchable opioid agonist whose efficacy can be tuned with light, enabling spatiotemporal control of the MOR to relieve pain.

Serotonin biology as a basis for explaining psychedelic drug action - we learned a lot writing this review for @CurrentBiology

🚨 New paper from the #SalmanLab 🚨
Our human “TBI-in-a-dish” model shows how repeated trauma leaves astrocytes with a cellular memory of injury, linking lipid signalling and swelling to delayed neuronal damage.
Proud of Luise for spearheading this work 🧠

Out today! A truly team effort and one of my favorite lab projects
The data connect NMDA/Grin2A malfunction to dopamine dynamics and related behaviors, and provide a futuristic model to develop and test "course altering" treatments for schizophrenia

At @IOCDF, I was approached by Mr. Milan, who shared with me his long journey searching for relief from #OCD, and I suggested he share his experiences, which may be of kind benefit to many others. We are both happy to share that his piece is now online: psychiatryonline.org/doi/ful…
