The Heit lab, along with our collaborators in the Ferguson lab, have published a new study today in the journal Cell Signalling. This paper investigates the processes by which the internalization of a neurological receptor – CRFR1 – is regulated. This regulatory process may be important, and improper CRFR1 regulation is associated with some forms of metal illness. […]

Today, PLoS Computational Biology has published our study, in which we developed a series of analytical routines for the analysis of molecular interactions in super-resolution microscopy images. These analyses include methods to quantify intermolecular interactions and the formation of larger molecular complexes. This was a large project, involving collaborations across multiple faculties at Western University.
