A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the DNA structure of lysergic acid ...

‘There are many non-hallucinogenic analogues of LSD, but the fundamental difference is that all of those compounds are very ...

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD's molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT's hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...

Scientists want to study the way your body’s gut microbes react and interact with psychedelic substances like magic mushrooms ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read ...

“If I can develop a straight-up inhibitor—[if] I have high conviction I can achieve a chemical structure that’s selective, that has the desired target occupancy, efficacy, and potency ...

Cells have a mailing system of sorts. They can release tiny molecular balls, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), that ...

Yet, despite more than 20 years of study, the sweet receptor’s precise architecture remained elusive, even as scientists ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have successfully altered the LSD molecule slightly, creating a new molecule called JRT by changing the position of two atoms. This modification ...
