Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness and safety of psychedelics (psilocybin, ayahuasca, LSD, MDMA) in treating mental disorders based on 126 articles.
- Results indicate that psilocybin is the most researched and effective psychedelic for mood disorders, with the strongest therapeutic effects, followed by ayahuasca, MDMA, and LSD.
- While there are some risks, like headaches, most participants reported no lasting adverse effects, suggesting psychedelics may also help with various other mental health issues like addiction and PTSD.
A small open reading frame (smORF) or short open reading frame (sORF) encodes a polypeptide of <100 amino acids in eukaryotes (50 amino acids in prokaryotes). Studies have shown that several sORF-encoded peptides (SEPs) have important physiological functions in different organisms. Many ribosomal proteins belonging to SEPs play important roles in several cellular processes, such as DNA damage repair and apoptosis.

Some members of the superfamily participate in innate immunity in animals. However, there have been few studies of RhoA on this aspect.
