Newest firstType 1 diabetes (T1D) has long been recognized as a T-cell-driven autoimmune disease. However, growing evidence highlights the involvement of metabolic, inflammatory, and gut microbiota-related factors in its progression. The endocannabinoid system (ECS), a key regulator of immune and metabolic homeostasis, has been increasingly implicated in autoimmune pathophysiology, particularly through its interactions with g…
Open article record in new tab ↗Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease resulting from loss of insulin-secreting β-cells in islets of Langerhans. The loss of β-cells is initiated when self-tolerance to β-cell-derived contents breaks down, which leads to T cell-mediated β-cell damage and, ultimately, β-cell apoptosis. Many investigations have demonstrated the positive effects of antagonizing cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) in metab…
Importance Neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19 have been reported in the pediatric population. Objective To determine whether anti-SARS-CoV-2 and autoreactive antibodies are present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of pediatric patients with COVID-19 and subacute neuropsychiatric dysfunction. Design, setting, and participants This case series includes 3 patients with recent SARS-CoV-2 infection as confirme…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic debilitating autoimmune disease without a cure. While the use of marijuana cannabinoids for MS has recently been approved in some countries, the precise mechanism of action leading to attenuate neuroinflammation is not clear. We used experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a murine model of MS, to explore the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psy…
Background: Approximately 0.5% of the population is diagnosed with some form of schizophrenia, under the prevailing view that the pathology is best treated using pharmaceutical medications that act on monoamine receptors. Methods: We briefly review evidence on the impact of environmental forces, particularly the effect of autoimmune activity, in the expression of schizophrenic profiles and the role of Cannabis the…
