January’s Story: Decoupling GPCR Pain Therapies from Destructive Side Effects. 

We are pleased to have Dr. Laura Bohn as our “coming soon” featured researcher. 

She caught my attention when she referenced one of our  Opioid Receptor Antibodies in the publication: C. E. Groer, K. Tidgewell, R. A. Moyer, W. W. Harding, R. B. Rothman, T. E. Prisinzano, and L. M. Bohn. An Opioid Agonist that Does Not Induce µ-Opioid Receptor—Arrestin Interactions or Receptor Internalization. DOI: 10.1124/mol.106.028258.

She, her team and callaborators are focused on an interesting and important aspect of pain therapies discovery…finding ways to de-couple the benefits of opiate based pain medications from their current side-effects including constipation, respiratory suppression and addiction.

I am looking forward to drilling into the specifics of this important research.
