GROK: can nicotine cure Glioblastoma

25 web pages
Nicotine does not cure glioblastoma. Research suggests that nicotine might have complex effects on cancer cells, including those of glioblastoma, but these effects are generally not beneficial in terms of curing the disease. Here are some key points based on available studies:
  • Proliferation and Resistance: Nicotine has been shown to enhance proliferation, migration, and radioresistance of human malignant glioma cells by activating pathways like EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), AKT, and ERK. This could potentially worsen the prognosis rather than improve it.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22614999/
  • Impact on Treatment: Some studies indicate that nicotine might contribute to resistance against chemoradiotherapy, suggesting a negative impact on the effectiveness of standard treatments for glioblastoma.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31092064/
  • Metastasis Concerns: While nicotine itself is not carcinogenic, it has been associated with promoting the spread (metastasis) of cancer cells, notably in lung cancer to the brain, which could imply a similar risk in glioblastoma due to its influence on the tumor microenvironment.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7398164/
  • Experimental Findings: In some experimental settings, nicotine has been linked to increased proliferation of glioblastoma cells, but this does not translate to a curative effect. Instead, it might exacerbate the condition by promoting tumor growth or survival.

  • Public Perception vs. Scientific Evidence: Posts on social media platforms might claim nicotine's benefits in fighting brain tumors, but these are not supported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence and can be misleading.

To summarize, while nicotine has various biological effects, none of the current scientific evidence supports it as a cure for glioblastoma. On the contrary, it might have detrimental effects on cancer progression and treatment efficacy. Treatment for glioblastoma involves surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, and patients should consult with healthcare professionals for guidance based on established medical protocols.


You do realize all AI does it grab the propaganda bullshit like from the AMA/FDA/NIH and gives you an answer based on this assembled data.

It's not "Zoltar"

The driver who killed 14 people in an ISIS-inspired vehicular attack in New Orleans used a very rare explosive compound in two homemade bombs that did not detonate, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News.

The explosive has never been used in a U.S. terrorist attack or incident, nor in a European one, the officials said. A key question for investigators now is how Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the attacker, learned about the explosive and how he managed to produce it.

The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said in a joint statement Friday that the two explosive devicess were placed on Bourbon Street, which Jabbar later turned into a scene of devastation.

[[Places by who? They don’t say he placed them]]

Jabbar had also set fire to a short-term rental house on Mandeville Street in New Orleans …. “in his effort to destroy it and other evidence of his crime.”

[[why hide evidence? Did he think he’d escape? Without help?]]

The New Orleans Fire Department responded to the fire at around 5:18 a.m., after Jabbar had carried out the attack on Bourbon Street, but the fire had “extinguished itself” before spreading to other rooms, allowing for the “recovery of evidence, including pre-cursors for bomb making material and a privately made device suspected of being a silencer for a rifle,” the statement said.

The agencies said in the statement that it was determined that Jabbar was the only person who could have set the fire.
[[say what?]]

The FBI has stated that the investigation remains ongoing and it has not changed its posture that Jabbar acted alone.
