Novel treatment strategies are needed to address treatment resistance and delayed onset of action in psychiatry. Psilocybin has shown promise as a treatment for major depressive disorder, but the molecular changes associated with its effects remain incompletely understood. In parallel, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in depression and in responses to antidepressant interventions. Here,...
Psychedelics have emerged as a promising treatment for mental health disease, and the therapeutic potential of psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is presently being pursued in numerous clinical trials. This has prompted a search for novel agents with more specific pharmacological activities than the rather promiscuous classical psychedelics. Here we present the detailed...
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has over the last decade emerged as a promising treatment strategy for mental health disease, and the therapeutic potential in classical psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and 5-MeO-DMT is presently being pursued in a plethora of clinical trials. However, the resurgent interest in the drugs as therapeutics has also prompted a search for novel agents with...

In parallel, various studies have indicated...
