What are the Challenges in Researching GABA's Role in Cancer?
One of the main challenges in researching GABA's role in cancer is its dual nature. While some studies suggest that GABA can inhibit tumor growth, others indicate that it might promote cancer progression. This discrepancy may be due to differences in cancer types, stages, and the specific GABA receptor subtypes involved. Additionally, the systemic effects of modulating GABAergic signaling pose a challenge, as it could affect normal physiological functions.
