ONLINE COVER This week, Gabriel and Streicher show in mice that opioids activate a pathway in the spine that inhibits their efficacy. This pathway is mediated by the kinase AMPK and can be blocked by HSP90 inhibitors. The image shows opioid-induced phosphorylation of ERK (green) in the spinal cord of mice that lack AMPK in certain neurons.

ABOUT

Science Signaling is a weekly, online journal for the life sciences. We publish studies that uncover basic mechanisms underlying biological processes in all organisms. We are particularly interested in studies that provide new insights into physiology, delineate mechanisms that cause disease, identify potential therapeutic targets and strategies, and characterize the effects of drugs.
