FW: FGF2 Consortium work. Commentary

Dear Tom and Fred

I thought you may enjoy reading the attached commentary that was just published in Biological Psychiatry. It summarizes the work been done around FGF2 in Psychiatric Disorders. Clearly the work of Huda and the rest of the Pritzker Consortium is the main focus of the article.

Yours

Don't know if you want to slog through this, but it's an example of the stuff we are doing. The "Akil labratory" refers to Huda Akil who runs our Consortium. We have laid low with our name because the investigators prefer to keep us out of the clutches of others and because they don't want the granting institutions to dry up their outside grants. Summary is that we found a clear correlation between FGF2 (a hormone in the brain) with certain psychiatric disease. tjp
