Excited to share our preprint: "A Cellular Basis for Heightened Gut Sensitivity in Females."
doi.org/10.1101/2025...
We address the question: Why do women feel more gut pain? We found that estrogen boosts communication between L-cells and EC cells, triggering increased gut sensitivity.

Excited to share my first paper from my postdoc! In this study, we demonstrate that the mu opioid receptor produces a second wave of G protein activity on endosomes in a manner that doesn’t require receptor internalization. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
