Psilocybin‘s health benefits could extend beyond the mental realm. A new study in human cells and mice has found the first experimental evidence that the compound can increase longevity and fight signs of aging. Being a psychedelic, psilocybin is usually investigated for its potential as a treatment for depression, anxiety, and other neurological disorders. But there hasn’t been a whole …

The human gut and the human brain share a hotline that scientists have been mapping for decades. Nutrients such as sugar and fat trigger signals that travel from the digestive tract to nerve centers in a flash, guiding everything from cravings to satiety. Yet the thought that the brain might also monitor the trillions of microbes living in the colon …

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published Wednesday (July 23) in the journal Nature, scientists sequenced the DNA of 1,084 people around the world. They leveraged recent technological advancements to analyze long stretches of genetic material from each person, …

Researchers have discovered that the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms can extend lifespan and reduce cellular aging by 50% in human cells and 30% in elderly mice. The experiments reveal another potential therapeutic use of the compound—called psilocybin—which has already been studied as a …

Human Body Phenomena That Science Cannot Explain 1. “We don’t know precisely how our bodies can distinguish gas from poop. We have some ideas; we know there are a ton of nerve endings in the area, but the precise mechanism of our bodies telling our brains ‘this is a fart, let loose’ isn’t really understood. What blows my mind is …

IN A NUTSHELL 🧬 Human eggs utilize a minimalist strategy to remain viable for decades, preserving their integrity. 🔍 Recent research reveals that eggs conserve energy by slowing down internal processes, minimizing damage. 💡 Findings could revolutionize fertility treatments like IVF, suggesting a shift in metabolic strategies. 🔬 The study, published in The EMBO Journal, opens new avenues for understanding …
