Developmental SSRI Exposure and Mu Opioid Signaling
2026-08-20
Cambre’s 2026 dissertation shows that developmental SSRI exposure produces persistent, motivation-specific reward deficits in adolescent and adult mice. Progressive-ratio behavior was improved by mu opioid receptor antagonism or nucleus accumbens MOR knockdown, whereas additional SSRI treatment and the MOR agonist tianeptine were ineffective.

Marein Reverses ABCG2-Mediated Drug Resistance
2026-08-18
The 2024 Biochemical Pharmacology study identifies marein, a flavonoid from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt, as a competitive inhibitor of the ABCG2 drug-efflux transporter. By increasing intracellular exposure to ABCG2 substrates including Mitoxantrone, topotecan, and olaparib, marein restored drug sensitivity in resistant cancer-cell models and established a mechanistic framework for studying transporter-mediated chemotherapy failure.
