Epigenetic landscapes of classical psychedelics and ketamine: molecular mechanisms of long-lasting neuromodulation.

Classic psychedelics such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and mescaline induce lasting changes in neuroplasticity and behavior that extend far beyond their acute pharmacological effects. Emerging evidence highlights that these enduring therapeutic …

Efficacy and Safety of Poly-L-lactic Acid for Midface Rejuvenation: A 12-Month Split-face Controlled Evaluation With 3D Imaging and Patient-reported Outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biostimulatory injectable that restores midfacial volume through collagen neogenesis rather than gel-based filling. Controlled clinical evidence directly quantifying PLLA's volumetric efficacy remains limited. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, …

Why Aging Cells Sometimes Help—and Sometimes Hurt—Muscle Repair

Understanding how aging cells block muscle repair could lead to new treatments to help older adults stay strong and independent.

This review examines cellular senescence (aging cells that stop dividing) in muscle regeneration, finding that senescent cells play a dual role: they can briefly help repair muscle after injury, but when they accumulate in aging …

How Lysosomes Control Aging: New Pathways to Longer, Healthier Lives

Cells have recycling centers that control aging. Better recycling may slow getting older and prevent age-related diseases.

This review examines how lysosomes—cellular recycling centers—actively regulate aging through two newly discovered signaling pathways (lysosomal surveillance response and transgenerational lysosomal signaling) and the protein TFEB. These findings suggest targeting lysosomal activity could be a …
