Addiction-Like Severity Predicts Prolonged Oxycodone Withdrawal-Induced Allodynia in Genetically Diverse Rats

Sonja Lorean Plasil, Lani Tieu, Chengjia Qian, Natalie Taylor, Elizabeth A. Sneddon, Lieselot L. G. Carrette, Molly Brennan, Alex Morgan, Dyar N. Othman, Kathleen Bai, Sara Foroutani, Giordano de Guglielmo, Marsida Kallupi, Olivier George

This study shows that higher addiction-like severity in rats predicts prolonged oxycodone withdrawal-induced allodynia, with stronger associations between self-administration behaviors and pain sensitivity.

Labile iron overload reprograms microglia and neurons for lipid droplet synthesis in the aging brain

Karina Cunha e Rocha, Qian Xiang, Chengjia Qian, Lishuan Wang, Wei Yuan, Varsha Beldona, Ying Duan, Luana Veras, Darya Abolmaali, Garam An, Junho Park, Whasun Lim, Xu Chen, Ying Liang Wei

This study identifies a mitochondrial-iron axis that drives lipid droplet formation in aging microglia and neurons through reactive oxygen species, revealing a microglia-neuron axis regulating iron metabolism.
