A recent Live Science article suggests that psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin could help treat depression by "invading" brain cells. Researchers found that the unique chemical structure of these substances allows them to infiltrate the membranes of brain cells and affect the activity of certain genes. The phenomenon, called "molecular mimicry," is thought to be the key to the therapeutic effects of these drugs.
