2025 Next Gen. Researcher Dr. Tiffany Li is the lead author in a new study in Neurology. Dr. Li and her colleagues have identified factors that tend to make certain cancer patients more vulnerable to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. #CIPN.

Peripheral neuropathy research: A new study has helped identify risk factors that make certain chemotherapy patients more vulnerable to peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve damage.Peripheral neuropathy refers to a group of disorders of the central nervous system that damage nerves and affect the way nerve cell signaling works. Peripheral neuropathy can result from other health conditions and medications, including chemotherapy, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Dr. Tiffany Li and her colleagues published a new study in Neurology. Based on a study of 901 individuals who had received neurotoxic treatments from oncology centers in Australia, these factors may increase vulnerability to CIPN: advanced age, diabetes, higher BMI, having previously received neurotoxic chemotherapy, female sex.What's next? This insight could help care providers identify patients who may require more careful monitoring during chemotherapy. Earlier intervention could prevent or reduce CIPN.

Just two doses before chemotherapy protected sensory nerves and prevented pain hypersensitivity, with effects lasting through repeated #chemotherapy cycles.

The science continues to unfold!

The potential of #psilocybin continues to surprise us!

🆕research has found that psilocybin prevented #chemotherapy -induced peripheral neuropathy #CIPN in mouse models, a painful & often irreversible side effect of #cancer treatment for which there is currently no proven preventive strategy.
