Bonn researchers clarify the influence of treatment with tetrahydrocannabinol on the metabolic switch mTOR
A low-dose, long-term dose of cannabis can not only reverse ageing processes in the brain, but also has an anti-ageing effect. BIGS DrugS member PD Dr. Andras Bilkei-Gorzo together Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn and a team from Hebrew University (Israel) have now been able to show this in mice. They found the key to this in the protein switch mTOR, whose signal strength has an influence on cognitive performance and metabolic processes in the entire organism. The results have now been presented in the journal “ACS Pharmacology & Translation Science”.
