Researchers are reporting positive results from an early trial exploring the safety profile of psilocybin doses in healthy adults. The trial also explored the potential of group dosing sessions as a way to speed up research and expand patient access.

Predicting a wave of psychedelic legalization over the coming decade, start-up Silo Wellness has developed a magic mushroom nasal spray focused on delivering controlled psychedelic microdoses. New Atlas spoke to CEO Mike Arnold to learn more.

The Pill only works if you remember to take it every single day. To reduce that risk and hassle, researchers at MIT have updated their slow-release, star-shaped oral capsules to last up to four weeks, and used it to deliver contraceptive drugs.

Researchers at Northeastern University have discovered a new antibiotic called darobactin, hiding in the gut of a tiny, soil-dwelling, parasitic worm. Tests on mice have so far proved promising against gram-negative bacteria.

A new drug designed to treat acute psychosis in schizophrenic patients is reporting positive results from a Phase 2 clinical trial. After several decades of development the drug is hoped to reach the market in the next few years.

A team of researchers is developing a bioelectronic implant designed to sense an opioid overdose and immediately administer a dose of life-saving naloxone.

A team at MIT has developed a new capsule that would survive a trip through the stomach and deliver its drug payload to the lining of the small intestine via microneedles.

Researchers have extend the lifespan of fruit flies by 48 percent using a triple drug combination made up of drugs already used in people.

Presently, in order to check the level of opioid drugs in a person's bloodstream, a blood sample must be taken. Things may soon be getting much less invasive, however, as scientists have now developed a breath test that does the job.

Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology have fine-tuned an artificial leaf design and used it to produce drugs for the first time.

Researchers at Imperial College London have found that a high-priority superbug resists drugs by closing its pores.

CBD is now an FDA-approved medicine, but there has been very little study into how food affects the cannabis-derived compound’s absorption. A valuable new study has strikingly found that CBD absorption is significantly increased when it is consumed alongside high-fat foods.
