New Tetrahydrocannabinol Data Have Been Reported by Researchers at University of California (Metabolic memory of D9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure in pluripotent stem cells and primordial germ cells-like cells).

A recent report from researchers at the University of California explores the impact of exposure to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of cannabis, on early embryonic development. The study found that THC increased the proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cells, but only had moderate transcriptomic changes. Additionally, THC affected the metabolic profile of the cells, which persisted throughout differentiation to primordial germ cell-like cells. This research provides valuable insights into the molecular effects of THC on germline development. [Extracted from the article]
