Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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

Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

Expression of mRNA for 5-HT2 Receptors and Proteins Related to Inactivation of 5-HT in Mouse Osteoblasts

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
We analyzed the expression of 5-HT2 receptors and proteins related to inactivation of 5-HT in primary cultures of mouse osteoblasts. The mRNA for the 5-HT2A receptor was detectable in anaplastic osteoblasts as well as in differentiated and matured ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Dopamine release induced by atypical antipsychotics in prefrontal cortex requires 5-HT1A receptors but not 5-HT2A receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs) increase dopamine (DA) release in prefrontal cortex (PFC), an effect probably mediated by the direct or indirect activation of the 5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1AR).

Japanese Cohort Study and Meta‐Analysis Demonstrate Significant Association Between Serotonin Transporter‐Linked Polymorphic Region and Schizophrenia

open access: yesNeuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study demonstrates a significant association between the 5‐HTTLPR polymorphism and schizophrenia risk. The short allele was significantly overrepresented in patients (OR = 1.39, p = 0.007), suggesting a potential contribution to schizophrenia risk.
