Newest firstIntroduction Cannabidiol (CBD), a nonpsychoactive compound derived from Cannabis sativa, has shown potential to influence cellular processes that are important for dental tissue repair. The aim of this scoping review was to map in vitro studies evaluating the influence of CBD on the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in order to contribute to a better understanding of i…
Open article record in new tab ↗The development of compounds triggering intestinal stem cells (ISCs) proliferation represents a promising strategy to alleviate irradiation (IR)-induced gastrointestinal syndrome. Here, cannabidiol (CBD)-a nonpsychotomimetic phytocannabinoid derived from the Cannabis sativa plant-was found to dramatically improve body weight loss of mice and stimulate Lgr5+ ISCs proliferation upon a lethal dose of IR. Using absolu…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Rapid regeneration after intense exercise is essential for competitive athletes. Based on this assumption, supplementation strategies, focusing on food supplements, are increasing to improve the recovery processes. One such supplement is cannabidiol (CBD) which is gaining more attention in competitive sports. However, the evidence is still lacking and there are no data available about the effect of a sh…
De novo regeneration of Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) using tissue culture techniques remains unreliable and infrequent. Conventional methods for the regeneration and transformation of cannabis have not achieved the reliability and replicability that need to be integrated into research and breeding programs. Protoplast systems are effective for gene expression studies and transformation and genome-editing technolo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Cannabinoids are a well-documented treatment modality for various immune and inflammatory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Crohn's disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and a range of neurodegenerative conditions. However, limited information is available regarding the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in treating periodontal disease. Objective The objective of…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis has long been used for its medicinal and psychoactive properties. With the relatively new adoption of formal medicinal cannabis regulations worldwide, the study of cannabinoids, both endogenous and exogenous, has similarly flourished in more recent decades. In particular, research investigating the role of cannabinoids in regeneration and neurodevelopment has yielded promising results in vertebrate models…
Open article record in new tab ↗The recent legalization of Cannabis sativa L. in many regions has revealed a need for effective propagation and biotechnologies for the species. Micropropagation affords researchers and producers methods to rapidly propagate insect-/disease-/virus-free clonal plants and store germplasm and forms the basis for other biotechnologies. Despite this need, research in the area is limited due to the long history of prohi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Therapeutic approaches requiring the intravenous injection of autologous or allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are currently being evaluated for treatment of a range of diseases, including orthopaedic injuries. An alternative approach would be to mobilise endogenous MSCs into the blood, thereby reducing costs and obviating regulatory and technical hurdles associated with development of cell therapies. How…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa is relatively recalcitrant to regeneration from somatic tissues, but several reports have been published demonstrating a response. Most reports show low levels of regeneration from somatic tissues, but a landmark publication by Lata et al. in 2010 reported regeneration from leaf explants with a 96% response rate, producing an average of 12.3 shoots per explant in a single, high-THC genotype. Despit…
Open article record in new tab ↗The endocannabinoid system refers to a widespread signaling system and its alteration is implicated in a growing number of human diseases. However, the potential role of endocannabinoids in skeletal muscle disorders remains unknown. Here we report the role of the endocannabinoid CB1 receptors in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. In murine and human models, CB1 transcripts show the highest degree of expression at dise…
In the pond culture of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis, a high limb-impairment rate seriously affects the culture success. Therefore, it is particularly important to artificially promote limb regeneration. This study evaluated the effects of melatonin on cheliped regeneration, digestive ability, and immunity, as well as its relationship with the eyestalk. It was found that the injection of melatonin significantly incr…
Open article record in new tab ↗The brain is enriched in arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) of the n-6 and n-3 series, respectively. Both are essential for optimal brain development and function. Dietary enrichment with DHA and other long-chain n-3 PUFA, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), has shown beneficial effects on learning and memory, neuroinflammatory processes, and sy…
Open article record in new tab ↗Oligodendrogenesis and oligodendrocyte precursor maturation are essential processes during the course of central nervous system development, and lead to the myelination of axons. Cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage are generated in the germinal zone from migratory bipolar oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), and acquire cell surface markers as they mature and respond specifically to factors which regulate prol…
