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 […]

Cannabinoids and HER2‑Positive Ovarian Cancer: Early Evidence for a New Therapeutic Strategy (pub. Feb 2025)
HER2‑positive ovarian cancer is a form of cancer in which tumor cells have high levels of a protein called HER2‑tyrosine kinase, which drives aggressive tumor growth and poor outcomes. In this preclinical study, researchers evaluated whether cannabinoids—naturally occurring compounds in the Cannabis sativa plant—might function as inhibitors of HER2‑tyrosine kinase, potentially slowing cancer cell growth. […]
