Cloning Receptors

After years of experiments, scientists have discovered how to copy ("clone") the genes that control the production of opiate receptors. Now it will be easier for researchers to make opiate receptors and study how opiates affect nerve cells.

This discovery may lead to other exciting developments, such as better treatments for opiate addiction.
