beyond stoked to share my labor of love (?) over the last 3 yrs - our discovery of endogenous D-cysteine in mammals:

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

@c_vasavda is a force of nature — happy to have played a small part in this work

[Chirag Vasavda @c_vasavda]

i am so excited to finally see this out.

here, we propose that aberrant redox metabolism contributes to the pain of trigeminal neuralgia. we conclude by identifying small molecule redox modulators that target the pain, transcriptionally.

We’ve updated our lab website. A more modern look. More fun, for sure. Come take a look at what we’re working on! https://t.co/YZNjKBN3P4

Getting a DEA license to purchase a controlled substance to kill a rat in my lab requires 1000x more vetting than buying an AR15 to kill a human.

The enzyme biliverdin reductase (BVR) is known to be important in the liver. Now, @c_vasavda @evsemenza et al. show that it's also a scaffolding protein at #synapses, linking #kinases FAK and Pyk2 to Src. BVR null mice show learning and memory deficits.

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

A research team at @HopkinsNeuro finds that a prominent enzyme in the liver also undergirds synaptic plasticity in the mouse brain – helping to demystify a process central to #learning, memory, and other essential cognitive tasks. @c_vasavda https://t.co/wOqCr3QWm6

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

Examining mouse hippocampi, @c_vasavda, Snyder, and Paul show that biliverdin reductase supports #SynapticPlasticity and learning by bridging focal adhesion kinases and effector enzymes, independently of its enzymatic activity. @HopkinsNeuro #Neuroscience https://t.co/SMgoxDO1xJ

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

Don’t miss this week’s new issue of Science Signaling! Scientists discover molecular “bridges” that support learning and synaptic plasticity in the mouse brain, probe how a protein limits appetite and controls blood sugar, and more. https://t.co/gHq5bYKkio

[Chirag Vasavda @c_vasavda]

learning about the molecules that make up synapses were what originally inspired me to become a scientist, and so i am incredibly excited to share this new chapter in heme metabolism outlining a new role for BVR in synaptic plasticity

Another Sol Snyder classic @PNASNews: discovering a cocaine receptor (Kd = 7 nM)! Congrats to my @HopkinsMedicine WBSB 816 gang @AdarshaMalla @evsemenza - personally saw their years of hard work on this. Do we need to rewrite the neuropharm textbooks? 🧐🤔 https://t.co/alZLx6OyLV
