Our recent paper "Expression of mu-opioid receptor in CA1 hippocampal astrocytes" is recommended by Faculty Opinions (previously F1000 prime). Dr. Emmanuel Darcq recommended this article owing to our new finding of the presence of MOR in astrocytes of the hippocampus using MOR-mCherry mice.

Congratulations!

As the 2020-2021 winter internship is terminated, Sangyong has left our lab. Sangyong contributed to many parts of our lab works! We appreciate his contribution. We hope that Sangyong does a great job during his remaining undergraduate course.
