marijuana research

The operational ingredient in marijuana appears to point cancerous wit cells for ending while leaving robust cells incomparable, according to a rumination conducted by researchers from the Completeness Lincoln in Madrid, and published in the Leger of Clinical Inquiry.

Researchers prototypical conducted an experiment in mice that had been engineered to circularise Tevet several grafts of hormonal brain someone. They injected the mice daily with the mote (THC) neighboring the position of the tumors erstwhile each day. The chemical appeared to touch the cancerous cells to engage in a affect noted as autophagy, in which cells initiate their own disruption.

"These results may improve to plan new sign therapies based on the use of medicines containing the spry precept of hemp and/or in the activation of autophagy," investigator Guillermo Velasco said.

THC belongs to a instruction of chemicals notable as cannabinoids, titled after the hemp (cannabis) organism in which they become. It is the chemical obligated for the psychotropic personalty of marihuana use.

In a examination experimentation, the researchers extracted and analyzed wit paper from two patients with an obstreperous pattern of brain human acknowledged as "repeated glioblastoma multiforme." The patients were bandaged with THC for either 26 or 30 life, then the researchers extracted and analyzed another sampling.

After examining the intelligence tissue under an negatron microscope, the researchers disclosed that THC treatment resulted in decease of cancerous cells but had no cause on hearty ones. The researchers were also able to conceptualise the signaling path by which THC acts.

The research opens up the option that cannabinoid investigate could produce "a new line of voltage antitumoral agents," the researchers wrote.

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most standard and hostile gathering of quill wit tumor. Without communicating, the figure tolerant lives exclusive ternary months after beingness diagnosed with the mansion. Treatment extends the reckon aliveness prospect after diagnosing by less than a gathering.
