    Inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by cannabinoids.

    Blazquez C, Casanova ML, Planas A, Del Pulgar TG, Villanueva C, Fernandez-Acenero MJ, Aragones J, Huffman JW, Jorcano JL, Guzman M.

    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I, School of Biology, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain.

    Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana and their derivatives, induce tumor regression in rodents (8). However, the mechanism of cannabinoid antitumoral action in vivo is as yet unknown. Here we show that local administration of a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid to mice inhibits angiogenesis of malignant gliomas as determined by immunohistochemical analyses and vascular permeability assays. In vitro and in vivo experiments show that at least two mechanisms may be involved in this cannabinoid action: the direct inhibition of vascular endothelial cell migration and survival as well as the decrease of the expression of proangiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in the tumors. Inhibition of tumor angiogenesis may allow new strategies for the design of cannabinoid-based antitumoral therapies.

    It's should be informative in the truest (binary) sense. "Go fish" would mean byte=zero if question was is byte = 1

    anon was correct. The latest viruses (virii :-), worms more correctly) attack and attach BEFORE you log in (if they are already there.).

    To fix, you would need a boot disk for Windows that mounts the harddisk and rewrites the security policy without enabling the windows kernel ( HUHHUH I said Windows Kernel. I meant DOS,sorry. :-)

    solution: put the ball end of string (don't cut it off!) at the headstock end.

    ends slippage, and if you do 2 or 3 winds, can reuse string until it sounds crap.

    If string continues to break, consider polishing your saddles to remove the burr.
