Excited to share @Nature: How does naloxone (Narcan) stop an opioid overdose? We determined the first GDP-bound μ-opioid receptor–G protein (wt) structures and found naloxone traps a novel "latent” state, preventing GDP release and G protein activation. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper! This is the marquee effort of my talented student Jessy Bowden, who identified a unique role for Src kinase signaling in microglia for promoting opioid signal transduction and pain relief in the spinal cord. Congrats Jessy! journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/…

Definitive evidence of how Narcan works by capturing images of it in action for the first time. May help develop drugs with longer-lasting protection against overdose. Great work and writing by Saif Khan, Ph.D. Candidate in Biology @USCDornsife dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/h…

New paper from @schulte_lab spearheaded by @MagdalenaScharf discovering FZD-targeting negative allosteric modulators. Julia Kinsolving was instrumental for the CryoEM structure of FZD7 with the NAM bound. Fantastic team work @GraetzLukas @JanVo12 @bforsb nature.com/articles/s4146…


They grow up so fast! Many congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Saif Khan, the first graduate of our lab. 🎓 He delivered a spectacular defense on our recent work in opioid receptor pharmacology. We’ll miss you greatly and wish you every success in your next chapter! @sfk_usc

Christmas came early this year! Our group will be looking for a Postdoc soon. Reach out if you're interested in the structural pharmacology of opioid receptors, or know anyone who might be.

Excited to have this paper out in @PNASNews, where we interrogate the induction mechanism of rapid homeostatic signaling at synapses. Congrats to @ChengjieQ and the rest of the team! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Synapses are more resilient than you might think! 💪When GluRs are weakened, the presynaptic neuron can compensate by releasing more neurotransmitters, keeping synaptic strength in a stable range. This retrograde process is called presynaptic homeostatic potentiation (PHP). 1/
