Psychedelics Fight Cancer: New Mechanism Discovered

Psychedelics Research and Other Developments Dominate Headlines

Recent reports from multiple sources have highlighted a range of significant developments, including corrections in scientific publications, ongoing military actions, and concerns over social and economic issues. While one source focused on a correction to a scientific paper, others covered a diverse array of events, from international conflicts to social media investigations.

A correction was issued to a Nature publication on January 28, 2026, regarding the effects of psychedelics. The original article, which focused on the mechanism of action of psychedelics, had several typographical errors in the initial publication, according to Nature News (Source 1). The errors involved incorrect superscript numbers in the Gi-biased signal transduction of 5-HT2AR section, the Ligand recognition mechanism of 5-HT2AR section, and the caption for Extended Data Fig. 6 and Extended Data Fig. 5.

Simultaneously, other news sources reported on a variety of pressing issues. The U.S. government alleged a secret Chinese nuclear test, while concerns were raised about potential censorship of late-night talk shows and the looming depletion of the Social Security trust fund, according to multiple reports from Nature News (Sources 2, 4, and 5).

Military actions by the Trump administration also drew attention. Military campaigns targeting alleged "narcoterrorists" on small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific resulted in at least 145 fatalities since September, according to Euronews (Source 3). Recent strikes killed 11 people in a single day. Critics have questioned the legality and effectiveness of these attacks, particularly given that the primary drug threat, fentanyl, is largely trafficked over land.

Other developments included a research expedition off Africa, support for sexual violence survivors, investigations into social media's harmful content, and the use of Bitcoin in a missing person case, as reported by Nature News (Sources 2, 4, and 5).
