Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, prompting researchers to investigate new plant-based compounds that may influence tumor growth. In this laboratory study, scientists examined a dichloromethane extract from Cannabis sativa to understand how its natural phytochemicals affect human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7). The research focused on whether compounds […]

Hemp Oils and Cancer Research: The Emerging Role of Antioxidants in Prevention and Supportive Care (pub. June 2025)
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. […]
