Fetal Fentanyl Syndrome: ‘Sound the alarm’
Two researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center are on the forefront of studies to learn more about the impact of Fentanyl on developing babies. The researchers say about once every decade, they might have a major breakthrough moment, and this is one of them.
“I don’t have a job. I have a love. You are excited in the morning when you come to work,” said Dr. Karoly Mirnics, Md, PhD, and director of the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute.
Mirnics and Dr Zeljka Korade, DVM, PhD, have studied the importance and role of cholesterol in the brain for two decades.
“Cholesterol is essential for life,” said Korade, who along with Mirnics, collaborated on a new study with researchers across the country.
