A team lead by Cornell University researchers are using the Titan Supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study mechanisms of sodium-powered transporters in cell-to-cell communications. Harel Weinstein’s lab at the Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University have constructed complex 3D molecular models of a specific family of neurotransmitter transporters called neurotransmitter sodium symporters…

Wow, this sounds like an incredible research project! The use of GPU-accelerated supercomputing to uncover treatments for addiction and depression is genuinely fascinating. It’s incredible how technology enables researchers to delve deeper into the mechanisms of cell-to-cell communications. I’m excited to see how their complex 3D molecular models of neurotransmitter sodium symporters contribute to our understanding of these conditions. I also think that once this technology is proven safe and beneficial, leading rehabs (like rehab Essex) will implement it. Thanks for sharing, and keep posting exciting news!
