Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psilocybin research has significantly developed in the last decade, but has remained in the space of specific mental health conditions. Furthermore, its biological origins have largely been ignored, as it is only a part of the secondary metabolite arsenal produced by the Psilocybe genus.
We invite submissions on the global Psilocybe community with a specific focus on the intersection of Psilocybe constituents and health outcomes. We will consider pre-clinical (in vitro and in vivo) and clinical primary research papers, in addition to well-structured reviews on Psilocybe use in the context of any health condition. While we will consider papers specifically focusing on psilocybin, we also invite papers that describe interactions of other Psilocybe constituents with a health phenotype/outcome.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Cells.
