Summary

Story summary

A Hungary-based study suggests that DMT may reduce stroke damage.
DMT protects the blood-brain barrier and lowers inflammation in lab and animal models.
In rat stroke models, DMT significantly reduced infarct volume and edema.
DMT restored brain-cell structure and reduced cytokine production; trials are ongoing to assess long-term effects and its potential to complement existing stroke therapies.
