The world today is more understanding – and embracing – of cannabis use than it has ever been before. Oddly enough, the green herb with its distinctive odor has quickly jumped the ranks from a controversial substance to an almost celebrated component of pop culture. However, like with...

Cannabis use directly linked to head and neck cancer

Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn, the University of Bonn and a team from Hebrew University discovered that cannabis might reverse aging and enhance mental capacity. Although the study was conducted on mice, the scientists believe that similar results could potentially be achieved in humans. The study focused on the...

Long-Term Low-Dose Cannabis Treatment Might Reverse Aging, Study Says

As gene editing technology continues to advance, it could fundamentally change the landscape of cancer treatment. A couple of decades ago, I was interviewing for hematology/oncology fellowships around the country. During an interview, a program director asked me a question that I had never thought about before and did not see coming. The question went something like this: “If you were the director of the National Cancer Institute and you had $3 billion to invest on 1 and only 1 area of oncology research, where would you spend it?”

BONN, Germany — As we age, our brains slow down. We become more forgetful, less sharp, and struggle to learn new things as easily as we once did. However, the answer to turning back the clock on our aging brains may be hiding in a surprisingly place — cannabis.

Cannabis may be an anti-aging miracle drug for older brains, study suggests

Understanding the differences between lab-based and instant urine drug tests is important in selecting the right option for your needs. Lab-based drug tests offer a higher accuracy level, which involves sending the specimen to a laboratory for a detailed analysis. This method takes a bit longer, typically around 2-3 days, but the results are comprehensive and reliable. These tests are often required for official or federally mandated programmes, making them an essential choice in certain circumstances.

Neuroscientists at Stanford have linked Alzheimer’s disease to the disruption of brain metabolism via the kynurenine pathway, which is affected by amyloid plaque and tau proteins. Their research has demonstrated that drugs blocking this pathway can restore cognitive function in Alzheimer’s mice by improving brain metabolism. This discovery not...

New research on tadpoles shows that the FDA-approved drug donepezil induces a reversible torpor-like state in the animals. Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have successfully induced a hibernation-like torpor state in Xenopus laevis tadpoles using donepezil (DNP), a drug approved by the FDA for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

LA JOLLA, CA—Fighting cancer effectively often involves stopping cancer cells from multiplying, which requires understanding proteins that the cells rely on to survive. Protein profiling plays a critical role in this process by helping researchers identify proteins—and their specific parts—that future drugs should target. But when used on their own, past approaches haven’t been detailed enough to spotlight all potential protein targets, leading to some being missed.
