Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?
Psychedelic drugs that activate 5‐HT2A receptors have been long used for cultural, medicinal and recreational purposes. Interest in psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders has resurged recently and is well documented; less well recognised are their anti‐inflammatory properties. Growing evidence now demonstrates that psychedelics modulate immune

Subtype-dependent arrestin engagement of the metabotropic glutamate receptors
The arrestin-mediated regulation of signaling through the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) is fundamental mechanism modulating excitatory transmission and synaptic plasticity.

Abstract Background A drug designed for a specific target often interacts with multiple targets, either unintentionally or as part of its intended mechanism of action. This has been called pharmacological pleiotropy or polypharmacology. There are key endogenous ligands such as ATP, GABA and glutamate that act on various proteins in humans. Furthermore,

In this study, human astrocytes were obtained from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying the G2019S LRRK2 mutation, the most common genetic cause of PD. These astrocytes display a reactive and inflammatory profile, with increased GFAP levels, elevated cytokine release, and reduced support for dopaminergic ...
