Excited to be able to finally share this work with everyone! Histone variant exchange, where histone protein are swapped for one another, is an interesting mechanism for gene regulation. We show it plays a key role in cocaine responses.
Please see this exciting publication by @PhilippMews and others which describes a novel "chromatin scar" induced by cocaine, lasting depletion of H2A.Z from nucleosomes, in nucleus accumbens medium spiny neurons that drives gene priming and drug relapse. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

New lab paper alert! Work by @KelseyLucerne and colleagues finds the cytokine CSF2 is increased by cocaine in a microbiome dependent manner. Increased CSF2 signaling leads to decreased cocaine preference and altered transcriptional response to cocaine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3909…

Thanks to all fabulous co-authors who helped identify this exciting gut-immune-brain axis (and who wouldn't fit in the first tweet)! @AyaOsman @OfMiceAndMinds @yeshadave5 @avashipman_ @FlurinCathomas @OffordRefresh @DannisCazarez & apparently Twitterless Calista Dean
