This week, we've heard from researchers trying to untangle the effects of the "trip" that often comes with psychedelics and ketamine from the ways these drugs might change the human brain. For part three of our series on psychedelic drug research, we get a glimpse into why some researchers are taking the "trip" out of these drugs altogether. You don't need to have heard the previous two episodes to understand this episode on what could be next for psychedelic medicine.
As systems address public health service delivery, workforce retention, funding priorities, and efficiency, PHAB offers tools to assess shared resource solutions. Visit our Service and Resource Sharing webpages to learn more about this approach and how PHAB can support you today. The post Approaching Public Health Sustainability Shared Service and Resource Methods first appeared on JPHMP Direct.
Wear and tear on plastic products releases small to nearly invisible plastic particles, which could impact people's health when consumed or inhaled. To make these particles biodegradable, researchers created plastics from plant starch instead of petroleum. An initial study shows how animals consuming particles from this alternative material developed health problems such as liver damage and gut microbiome imbalances.
Australian scientists developed a novel antiviral that targets the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro enzyme, showing strong preclinical efficacy in reducing both acute and long COVID symptoms in mice.
By Jacquelyn Faulkner , senior specialist, Infectious Diseases, APHL This is part of a series about topics presented during APHL ID Lab Con 2025 , a forum to discuss the latest developments on the detection and characterization of infectious diseases of public health concern. What do cows, birds and cats have in common? Theyre all susceptible to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, the most well-known of which is influenza A (H5N1).
In this episode of JPHMP Direct Talk, intern Karsen DeWeese speaks with Suhanee Mitragotri, a senior at Harvard College and co-founder of the Naloxone Education Initiative, about the role that harm reduction programs like hers have in public health. The post The Naloxone Initiative: Educating High Schoolers to Save Lives first appeared on JPHMP Direct.
Heavy drinkers who have eight or more alcoholic drinks per week have an increased risk of brain lesions called hyaline arteriolosclerosis, signs of brain injury that are associated with memory and thinking problems, according to a new study.

Did you know the U.S. spends twice as much per person on healthcare as other wealthy nations, yet we still lag behind in terms of outcomes like life expectancy and infant mortality? Bamboo Healths Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Smith, recently had the pleasure of sharing insights with the Forbes Technology Council on how to solve healthcares toughest fragmentation challenges.
Evidence shows that hunter-gatherers were crossing at least 100 kilometers (km) of open water to reach the Mediterranean island of Malta 8,500 years ago, a thousand years before the arrival of the first farmers.
Skim milk consumption is linked to a lower prevalence of migraines in U.S. adults, according to a large NHANES-based study. The association remained significant even after adjusting for lifestyle, diet, and demographic factors.
In a cave overlooking the ocean on the southern coast of South Africa, archaeologists discovered thousands of stone tools, created by ancient humans roughly 20,000 years ago. By examining tiny details in the chipped edges of the blades and stones, archaeologists are able to tell how the tools were made -- which revealed that people were sharing crafting techniques over wide distances.
In 1976, scientists discovered a thread-like virus near the Ebola River in the Congo that could kill up to 90% of its victims. Here, we explore how breakthrough treatments may finally give humanity a fighting chance against the Ebola virus, one of nature’s most lethal pathogens. Learn more on the GIDEON infectious diseases blog. The post Outsmarting Ebola: Breakthroughs, challenges, and the path forward appeared first on GIDEON.
Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of 'hidden' galaxies that could hold the key to unlocking some of the universe's secrets. If their existence is confirmed it would 'effectively break current models of galaxy numbers and evolution'. The possible galaxies may also provide the missing piece of the puzzle for the energy generation in the universe in infrared light.
The pilot project will initially connect AIIMS New Delhi and AIIMS Bilaspur, serving as a proof of concept for broader implementation across the entire network of AIIMS hospitals.
From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the brain.
FLUID, an open-source, 3D-printed robot, offers an affordable and customizable solution for automated material synthesis, making advanced research accessible to more scientists.
New UCLA research conducted using mouse models and human genetic data has uncovered a critical factor that determines how much scarring occurs following kidney injury, leading scientists to identify a potential precision medicine approach to prevent chronic kidney disease progression.
Increased dietary folic acid intake may lead to adverse health effects, including inflammation and neurotoxicity, highlighting the need for optimal levels.
Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations. The system can be formulated completely as RNA, dramatically simplifying delivery logistics compared to traditional systems that use both RNA and DNA. By inserting an entire gene, the tool offers a one-and-done approach that overcomes hurdles from CRISPR gene editing technology -- which is programmed to correct individual mutations -- offerin
AI safety cannot be treated as an afterthoughtit must be foundational; AI tools can aid in healthcare only if built on trusted foundations, with constant vigilance, and robust ethical guardrails
Researchers have discovered a way to get anti-inflammatory medicine across the blood-brain barrier, opening the door to potential new therapies for a range of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and cancer cachexia.

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers have identified a molecule that helps more mitochondria function properly.
New research from the University of Sydney has revealed poor oral health is significantly associated with higher instances of migraines, abdominal and body pain in women.
Rsearchers have developed the first wearable device for measuring gases emitted from and absorbed by the skin. By analyzing these gases, the device offers an entirely new way to assess skin health, including monitoring wounds, detecting skin infections, tracking hydration levels, quantifying exposure to harmful environmental chemicals and more.
