Researchers Dismantled LSD Molecule by Molecule – What They Found Could Inspire New Medicines

Molecular autopsy reveals features linked to hallucinations and therapeutic benefits. LSD, a psychedelic drug being studied for its ability to help nerve cells grow and strengthen their connections, has a complicated molecular structure. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have pared that structure down, creating simpler compounds with reduced hallucinogenic and heart-toxic effects. One [...]
