AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया
Researchers in Hungary have found that DMT, a natural psychoactive compound, significantly mitigates brain damage from stroke in animal models and cell cultures. The molecule restores the blood-brain barrier and curbs inflammation, potentially complementing current treatments. These discoveries, published in Science Advances, highlight DMT's therapeutic promise amid limited stroke options.
