Cancer development is closely linked to oxidative stress, a process where harmful molecules called free radicals damage cells and DNA over time. This scientific review examines how hemp oils, derived from Cannabis sativa, may help counter these effects due to their rich content of natural antioxidants, including cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes. Researchers analyzed existing laboratory […]

Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabigerol (CBG), and Related Compounds Show Early Antitumor Activity Against Glioma (pub. June 2025)
Gliomas are aggressive brain tumors with poor prognosis, and new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. This study used a combined in silico (computer modeling) and in vitro (laboratory cell) approach to evaluate whether compounds from Cannabis sativa—including cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabigerol (CBG)—as well as related natural molecules, may inhibit the growth of malignant glioma cells. […]
Cannabinoids and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: Implications for Cancer Spread (pub. Jun 2025)
Cancer metastasis—the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor to other parts of the body—is a major cause of cancer‑related illness and death. One biological process that may play a role in metastasis involves neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web‑like structures released by immune cells called neutrophils that can trap pathogens but may also interact […]
