Inhibition of Cancer Cell Invasion by Cannabinoids via Increased Expression of Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1

“BACKGROUND:

Cannabinoids, in addition to having palliative benefits in cancer therapy, have been associated with anticarcinogenic effects. Although the antiproliferative activities of cannabinoids have been intensively investigated, little is known about their effects on tumor invasion.

CONCLUSION:

Increased expression of TIMP-1 mediates an anti-invasive effect of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids may therefore offer a therapeutic option in the treatment of highly invasive cancers.”

  1. What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that arrive from nowhere that Im fairly sure Id have a fair shot. Your weblog is terrific visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.

    • I just started posting. I’ve barely had a chance to scratch the surface. I’m not debating anything or blogging for your entertainment. I’m putting information into a system to help people. I’m not being paid, it’s an act of love. I just copied and pasted an abstract and a conclusion about cannabinoids and cancer. It is but one of THOUSANDS more to come. If you have a problem with the science, take it up with the scientists. 🙂
