Newest firstAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, altered differentiation, barrier dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Currently available therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and JAK inhibitors, have improved AD management but do not address all aspects of the disease, supporting the investigation of natural-product strategies as complementary app…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Cannabinoids, present in Cannabis sativa, modulate the signaling and receptor expression of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), potentially impacting various skin conditions. However, current evaluations of their clinical effectiveness remain largely descriptive. This study aimed to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of cannabinoids, including Cannabis sativa extracts, in treating dermatologic disorde…
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied by severe itching. Reducing mediators of skin inflammation and itching is crucial for the treatment of AD. Cannabis sativa L. contains many types of cannabinoids and flavonoids, which exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and anti-atopic dermatitis effects of hybrid…
Open article record in new tab ↗This review aims to assess the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids as complementary treatments for atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterized by the loss of skin barrier function that promotes subsequent symptoms such as intense itching, xerosis and inflammation. Several treatments are available, particularly topical approaches, which are crucial for both acute and chronic manageme…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabinoid compounds have potential as treatments for a variety of conditions, with cannabigerol (CBG) being known for its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of CBG in a cellular model of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD). In the cellular model, we confirmed the cytotoxicity of CBG and downregulated the expression of inflammatory markers CCL26,…
Open article record in new tab ↗Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by flare-ups of inflamed, dry, and itchy skin affecting over 200 million people worldwide. "Emollients plus" containing active cosmetic ingredients such as herbal extracts and phytochemicals have the potential to surpass the efficacy of conventional emollients, while avoiding side effects associated with pharmacological interventions. The repor…
Background The therapeutic benefits of electroacupuncture (EA) for atopic dermatitis (AD) are recognized, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Given the side effects associated with clinical CB2 receptor (CB2R) agonists used in AD treatment, our study seeks to elucidate EA's role in modulating CB2R in lesional skin and its impact on antipruritic and anti-inflammatory responses using an AD mouse model. Met…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, making it a promising candidate for addressing inflammatory skin disorders like atopic dermatitis. Aim This study aimed to (i) investigate CBD's impact on lymphocyte proliferation and lymphocyte viability; (ii) assess in vitro cytotoxicity U937 cells (a human promonocytic cell line) of CBD/cytotoxicity of C…
Cannabichromene (CBC) is one of the main cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, and although less well known than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), it is gaining attention for its potential therapeutic benefits. To date, CBC's known mechanisms of action include anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and anti-acne effects through TRP channel activation and t…
Open article record in new tab ↗The endocannabinoid system has been shown to be involved in various skin functions, such as melanogenesis and the maintenance of redox balance in skin cells exposed to UV radiation, as well as barrier functions, sebaceous gland activity, wound healing and the skin's immune response. In addition to the potential use of cannabinoids in the treatment and prevention of skin cancer, cannabinoid compounds and derivative…
Open article record in new tab ↗Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition, caused by wide genetic, environmental, or immunologic factors. AD is very common in children but can occur at any age. The lack of long-term treatments forces the development of new strategies for skin regeneration. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a well-developed, tissue-compatible biomaterial showing also good mechanical properties. In our study, we des…
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has lately been proven to be an important, multifaceted homeostatic regulator, which influences a wide-variety of physiological processes all over the body. Its members, the endocannabinoids (eCBs; e.g., anandamide), the eCB-responsive receptors (e.g., CB₁, CB₂), as well as the complex enzyme and transporter apparatus involved in the metabolism of the ligands were shown to be expre…
Open article record in new tab ↗OBJECTIVE: Identification of allergens by intradermal test in patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Intradermal test was performed in 100 patients of Ambala over an 8-year period to identify the common allergens. A total of 197 allergens including 50 types of pollen, 19 fungi, 17 insects, 14 types of dust, 6 animal dander, 7 types of fabric and feather and 82 types of foods, d…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Many inflammatory mediators, including various cytokines (e.g. interleukins and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]), inflammatory proteases, and histamine are released following mast cell activation. However, the endogenous modulators for mast cell activation and the underlying mechanism have yet to be elucidated. Endogenous cannabinoids such as palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anand…
