G9a inhibitors are a potential therapeutic for addiction! I'm excited about my first "last author" paper and the first data from my lab at @lsu.bsky.social @lsuvetmed.bsky.social With co-authors Marcelo Lopez, Paulina Misztak, Howard Becker, Christopher Cowan! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40926332/

Targeting G9a decreases escalated alcohol drinking in male mice in a model of combined stress and chronic alcohol exposure - PubMed

These preclinical data suggest that reducing NAc G9a levels, or suppressing its enzymatic activity, can effectively reduce potentiated alcohol drinking produced by stress and/or alcohol dependence. Th...

New paper out! We examined a novel role for a sodium channel subunit in the nucleus accumbens on heroin seeking behavior. Thanks to all the other authors for their excellent help! www.eneuro.org/content/earl...

Heroin regulates the voltage-gated sodium channel auxiliary subunit, SCN1b, to modulate nucleus accumbens medium spiny neuron intrinsic excitability and cue-induced heroin seeking.

Self-administration of addictive substances like heroin can couple the rewarding/euphoric effects of the drug with drug-associated cues, and opioid cue reactivity contributes to relapse vulnerability ...
