The Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A New Target for the Treatment
Within a single tumor clone, cells have significantly different abilities to proliferate and form new tumors. This has led to the hypothesis that most cells in a cancer have a limited ability to divide and only a small subset of distinct cells, the cancer stem cells (CSCs), has the capacity to self-renew and form new tumors .

متن کاملThe endocannabinoid system in cancer-potential therapeutic target?
Endogenous arachidonic acid metabolites with properties similar to compounds of Cannabis sativa Linnaeus, the so-called endocannabinoids, have effects on various types of cancer. Although endocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids may have pro-proliferative effects, predominantly inhibitory effects on tumor growth, angiogenesis, migration and metastasis have been described. Remarkably, these e...
متن کاملThe Endocannabinoid System as a Therapeutic Target for Liver Diseases
Introduction Chronic liver disease is responsible for about 800,000 deaths a year due to cirrhosis and its complications. The most common causes of liver disease worldwide are viral hepatitis, chronic alcohol consumption, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with the metabolic syndrome. All these conditions generate liver injury and inflammation, thereby activating liver fib...
متن کاملP 117: Endocannabinoid System as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Epilepsy
Endocannabinoid (ECB) system plays a vital role in responses to stress. Moreover, ECB and its receptors cause anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and neuroprotective effects by modulating neuronal, glial and endothelial cell functions. A number of studies have demonstrated ECB system notably defects in neurotraumatic and neurodegenerative diseases like epilepsy, TBI, Alzheimer’s disease and...
