The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) is to study the effect of cannabis oil on liver cancer patients who have exhausted all other treatment options. The aim of the study is to see whether cannabis oil acts as an anti-cancer agent that will shrink the liver tumours.
The study was started after two separate reports that patients with advanced liver cancer had seen their tumours shrink after using cannabis oil. Now, two and five years after their diagnoses, the tumours have completely disappeared and the patients are cured. Although laboratory research shows that cannabis can curb the growth of liver cancer cells, a possible anti-cancer effect of cannabis oil in patients cannot be explained as no scientific research has been carried out.

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded Vici grants worth € 1.5 million to three Groningen-based researchers. The laureates can use the funding to spend five years developing their ideas for research. Earlier this year, the NWO had already awarded a Vici grant to professor Lude Franke.
Rector Magnificus Cisca Wijmenga: ‘A Vici grant is the jewel in the crown for the work of these three laureates from the University of Groningen and the University Medical Center Groningen. It gives them an opportunity to continue developing their innovative lines of research. The Board of the University is enormously proud of these high-flying researchers and wishes them and their research teams all the very best with shaping their new plans.’
Diet Rich in Animal Products, Processed Foods, Alcohol and Sugar Linked with Inflammatory Gut Microbiome

The results of a study by researchers at the University of Groningen and University Medical Centre Groningen suggest that high dietary intake of animal products, processed foods, alcohol and sugar, support a gut microbiome that encourages inflammation, while a diet rich in plant-based foods was found to promote gut microbial communities that have the opposite effect.
Reporting their findings in the journal
Gut, the team concluded that implementing dietary changes could feasibly help to prevent gut inflammatory processes involved in some chronic diseases. “Modulation of gut microbiota through diets enriched in vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and fish and a higher intake of plant over animal foods, has a potential to prevent intestinal inflammatory processes at the core of many chronic diseases,” they wrote. “We propose pro-inflammatory and anti-in
