Newest firstThe endocannabinoid system (ECS) is increasingly recognized as a central regulator of immune homeostasis, integrating neural, metabolic, and immune signaling to maintain physiological equilibrium. This Perspective examines the “therapeutic paradox” of endocannabinoid immunomodulation, whereby anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective effects are mechanistically linked to transient immunosuppression. Although cannabi…
Open article record in new tab ↗The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a primary regulatory system in human physiology that serves to help maintain homeostasis throughout the nervous system, immune system, and gastrointestinal system. This review has the goal of evaluating the unique opportunity for the ECS to provide a regulatory axis within the microbiota-gut-brain axis, particularly with regard to neurodevelopment, immune tolerance, and gut heal…
Background Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid increasingly used during pregnancy, has been proposed to modulate inflammatory processes. However, its effects on human placental immune functions remain poorly characterized. This study investigates the impact of CBD on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in human placenta explants and primary trophoblast cells, focusing on cytokine expression…
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous lipid mediator belonging to the N-acyl-ethanolamine family, widely recognized for its multifaceted effects on neuroprotection, chronic pain management, and immune modulation. As a naturally occurring compound, PEA plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis under conditions of cellular stress and inflammation. Its pharmacological effects are primarily mediated throu…
Open article record in new tab ↗The complex effects of plant cannabinoids on human physiology is not yet fully understood, but include a wide spectrum of effects on immune modulation. The immune system and its inflammatory effector pathways are recently emerging as possible causative factors in psychotic disorders. The present study aimed to investigate whether self-administered Cannabis use was associated with changes in circulating immune and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis is a complex substance that harbors terpenoid-like compounds referred to as phytocannabinoids. The major psychoactive phytocannabinoid found in cannabis ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) produces the majority of its pharmacological effects through two cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2. The discovery of these receptors as linked functionally to distinct biological effects of THC, and the subsequent dev…
