About 27% of Americans take melatonin to fall asleep. However, Dr. Michael Breus, a clinical psychologist and a leading sleep expert worldwide, cautioned against widespread use of melatonin. “Melatonin is a sleep regulator, not a sleep initiator,” he explained, emphasizing that melatonin is a hormone that influences the whole body system.
Unlike melatonin, full-spectrum CBD and RSO actively interact with your endocannabinoid system to dismantle stress, melt away tension, and naturally initiate a deep. Cannabinoids bind to CB1 receptors in the brain and have known sedative properties. It actively decreases sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and directly induces the physical and mental heaviness associated with tiredness.

Oregon State University researchers have developed an iron-based nanomaterial that exploits the acidic, high-hydrogen-peroxide environment of tumors to destroy cancer cells from within. By triggering a dual chemical reaction, this therapeutic agent floods cancer cells with oxygen-damaging radicals, inducing lethal stress while leaving healthy tissues unharmed.

Exciting new research has identified a specific protein, P2RX7, as a major culprit in helping lung cancer tumors hide from the immune system. By disabling this "shield" on regulatory T cells, scientists were able to boost the body’s natural defenses and significantly slow tumor growth in lab models. Published in Cancer Immunology Research, the findings offer a new approach that could make lung cancer treatments much more effective. https://aacrjournals.org/cancerimmunolres/article-abstract/doi/10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0567/771882/Regulatory-T-cell-sensing-of-extracellular-ATP-via?redirectedFrom=fulltext

A recently discovered RNA molecule could enhance survival rates for cancer patients. Researchers at Texas A&M University Health Science Center identified this novel RNA, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the nucleolus, a vital cellular structure. Their research also indicates that this molecule may affect outcomes in specific blood cancers. (by Wesley P**n, Texas A&M University)

In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of a key cellular structure, the nucleolus . Their findings also suggest this molecule may influence patient...

Scientists at Google DeepMind and Yale University have developed a groundbreaking AI model, that generated a novel hypothesis, on how cancer cells hide from the immune system. Essentially, this can help turn "cold" tumors (invisible to the body's defenses) into "hot" tumors, making them visible and vulnerable to existing therapies. The model even identified entirely new drugs that can help boost the immune system's signal against the disease. This discovery has the potential to be one of the most significant breakthroughs in cancer therapy to date.

Researchers at Stellenbosch University have identified a rare group of plant compounds, flavoalkaloids, in Cannabis leaves, often discarded as waste, for the first time. They detected 79 phenolic compounds across three Cannabis strains, including 25 previously unreported in the plant. Sixteen were tentatively classified as flavoalkaloids, primarily found in the leaves of one strain. Phenolic compounds like flavonoids are valued for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties, and this discovery expands Cannabis’ known chemical complexity beyond cannabinoids. The findings, published in Journal of Chromatography A, seem a potential source of new biomedical research and medicinal applications. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2025.466023
