Autophagy is a process cells use to break down and recycle their own components.
Researchers found that THC triggered autophagy in human glioma cells, leading to cancer-cell death.
The study also found that this process was important for the antitumor effects seen in animal models.
Study:
Cannabinoid action induces autophagy-mediated cell death through stimulation of ER stress in human glioma cells
thcXplained: THC triggered a self-destruction process that killed human brain cancer cells.
