Studies point to the modulatory and neuroprotective role of the cannabinoid system in neurodegenerative models and here it was investigated the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on autophagy in a human neuroblastoma strain (SH-SY5Y) that overexpresses the EGFP-Tau WT (Wild Type) protein in an inducible Tet-On system way. The gene discussed is MAPT; the disease is neuroblastoma.
