  • The Quiet Power of RGS Proteins: Rethinking Pain Pathways through GPCR Biology

    Alex Serafini  pointed out in his interview, Regulators of G protein Signaling (RGS proteins)  might GPCRs as tangential but inevitable: "I feel like I never was particularly explicitly interested in GPCR signaling Whether working on opioid withdrawal, addiction vulnerability, or chronic pain, GPCR-related signaling repeatedly emerged as the core mediator  — demonstrating the reach of these signaling pathways beyond signaling .

  • Purpose-Driven Opioid Research: Catherine Demery’s Academic Path

    Questions about how opioids impair breathing, why xylazine complicates interventions, and how receptor-level While writing a literature review on opioid and alcohol addiction susceptibility, something shifted. “That was kind of a signal to me that maybe I should start thinking about a PhD,” Catherine recalls. She is especially interested in mu-opioid receptor signaling  and how xylazine, as an alpha-2 adrenergic Instead, she followed the signals that kept her engaged and energized.

  • Coincident Regulation of PLCβ Signaling by Gq-Coupled and μOpioid Receptors Opposes Opioid- Mediated

    October 2022 Coincident Regulation of PLCβ Signaling by Gq-Coupled and μOpioid Receptors Opposes Opioid The primary analgesic target of opioids is the μ-opioid receptor (MOR). Here we investigated a potential mechanism for regulation of PLC signaling downstream of MOR in HEK293 cells and found that MOR alone could not stimulate PLC, but rather required a coincident signal from These data support a model where Gq and Gβγ-dependent signaling cooperatively regulate PLC activation
