Newest firstImmunosuppressive microenvironments, the lack of immune infiltration, and antigen heterogeneity pose challenges for chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies applied to solid tumours. Previously, CAR-T cells were armoured with immunostimulatory molecules, such as interleukin 12 (IL-12), to overcome this issue, but faced high toxicity. Here we show that collagen-binding domain-fused IL-12 (CBD-IL-12) secret…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of a well-characterized cannabidiol (CBD)-rich cannabis extract, CAN296, on T lymphocytes (T cells), particularly Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4+) helper and Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8+) cytotoxic subsets, by examining T-cell activation, cytokine secretion, and cytotoxic molecule expression in comparison with the conventional treatments dexamethasone (…
Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) signaling modulates microglial responses to inflammatory stimuli. Our previous studies demonstrated that genetic deletion of CB2 inhibits microglial activation during inflammatory stimulation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) or in neurodegenerative conditions. However, we cannot exclude developmental effects of the constitutive CB2 knockout (CB2-/-), which could mediate compensatory outco…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Recently, the role of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) as the principal regulator of simultaneous prostaglandin synthesis and endocannabinoid receptor activation in the CNS was demonstrated. To expand upon previously published research in the field, we observed the effect of the MAGL inhibitor JZL184 during the early-stage proinflammatory response and formation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) in the Alzheimer's dise…
