This study uses proteomics to show LSD alters proteins involved in proteostasis, energy metabolism, and neuroplasticity in human brain organoids.

This study investigates how DYRK1A affects APP vesicle transport in human neurons, finding that its inhibition reduces retrograde transport while overexpression increases it.

This study shows that reduced lipoxin A4 levels in aging brains contribute to cognitive deficits in mice and humans, suggesting LXA4 as a potential therapeutic target for age-related dementia.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection of human neural cells is non-permissive but causes inflammation and cell damage, suggesting neural damage in COVID-19 is due to systemic inflammation rather than direct viral replication.

This paper investigates whether saxitoxin from cyanobacteria worsens neural damage caused by Zika virus in Brazil, finding increased cell death and brain abnormalities in experimental models.

This study shows that d-LSD enhances novel object preference in young and adult rats and can rescue this effect in old rats when combined with enriched environment exposure.
