Science paper Serotonergic neuron-glioma interactions drive high-grade glioma pathophysiology
- Thread starter TransistorBass
- Start date
Pure science papers to share and discuss.
More bad news for anyone who is unlucky enough to get brain cancer and loves psychedelics.
But on a more serious note for anyone who is wondering, the demonstrated mechanism is tumor promotion, not tumor initiation. So this paper is not implying that the use of psychedelics is in any way related to a increased risk for brain cancer. But if you’re unlucky enough to get brain cancer, psychedelics are a risk factor for accelerating the disease, therefore you should not take them if you’re diagnosed.
So @TransistorBass it has nothing to do with an pathway to brain cancer.

Happy to be corrected, posted without sufficient understanding of Scientific papers and their writing.
I was happy to be able to correct you as this would have been a serious problem. Anyway the person who I spoke with explained it to me as in that estrogen is also a driving factor in accelerating breast cancer like androgens are for prostate cancer, but both are also very necessary for healthy living.

I'll edit my initial words with an explanation. 
Well I could be wrong, so let’s see if someone is more informed and willing to take on a different position regarding the paper.I'll edit my initial words with an explanation.
