Where Modulation May Matter THCA does not need to act directly on a tumor to influence biology that matters in cancer. A compound can shift the conditions surrounding a tumor cell, change how immune cells behave when they encounter it, alter inflammatory signaling in the tissue around it, affect the way pain is generated or…

The Biology THCA Would Have to Influence Most people carry a fairly simple picture of cancer: cells that have slipped free of the usual restraints on growth, dividing when they should stop and eventually forming a mass that does not belong there. That picture captures something real, but only part of it. Uncontrolled proliferation is…
