Study links major depression in young adults to altered cellular energy patterns in brain and blood

March 12, 2026 由 AI 报道 AI 生成的图像事实核查

Researchers studying young adults with major depressive disorder have reported an unusual energy “signature” in both the brain and immune blood cells: higher ATP-related measures at rest, paired with a reduced ability to increase energy production when demand rises. The findings, published in Translational Psychiatry, may help explain common symptoms such as fatigue and low motivation, though the work is early and based on a small sample.

Modified psilocin derivatives show antidepressant-relevant serotonin activity in mice with fewer psychedelic-like effects

March 08, 2026 由 AI 报道事实核查

Researchers report designing and testing five fluorinated, reversible carbamate derivatives of psilocin—psilocybin’s active metabolite—aimed at reducing acute psychedelic-like effects while preserving key serotonin-receptor activity. In experiments in mice, a lead compound labeled 4e produced lower but longer-lasting brain exposure to psilocin-related activity and triggered fewer head-twitch responses than pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin, according to a study in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
