Study Finds CBD May Strengthen Effects of Breast Cancer Drug
A new study published by Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry found that cannabidiol (CBD) may enhance the effects of the cancer drug olaparib in certain breast cancer models, particularly triple-negative breast cancer. Researchers from Yeditepe University examined whether CBD could improve the response of BRCA-wild type breast cancer cells to olaparib, a PARP inhibitor commonly used …
Study: CBD Shows Benefit for Schizophrenia Symptoms
Cannabidiol (CBD) may provide a small but statistically significant benefit for certain schizophrenia symptoms when used alongside standard antipsychotic treatment, according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis. The study, published in European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience, was conducted by researchers from the University of Thessaly, the Technical University of Munich and the …
Study: CBD Reduces Heroin-Seeking Behavior by Reversing Brain Changes Linked to Relapse
A new study published in Biological Psychiatry found that cannabidiol (CBD) reduced heroin-seeking behavior by reversing brain changes linked to relapse, particularly in pathways tied to microglial function. The study was conducted by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Researchers examined how CBD affects the basolateral amygdala, or BLA, a brain …
Study: CBD Blocks HIV Infection Pathways in Immune Cells, Shows Potential as Preventative Therapy
New research published this month in Mucosal Immunology finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may interfere with multiple early-stage processes involved in HIV transmission, including direct infection of key immune cells and viral transfer within mucosal tissue. The study, conducted by researchers from Université Paris Cité, focused on how HIV-1 spreads through mucosal surfaces, where the virus …
Study: CBD May Increase THC Levels in Blood When Cannabis Is Vaporized, Research Finds
A study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence reports that cannabidiol (CBD) may increase the amount of THC circulating in the bloodstream when the two are inhaled together, potentially altering how cannabis affects users. The study was conducted by researchers from King’s College London and University College London, and examined how CBD influences the pharmacokinetics …
Study: CBD-Infused Biomimetic Nanoparticles Show Neuroprotective Effects in Stroke Model
A new study published in Molecular Pharmaceutics Journal examines a novel approach to treating ischemic stroke using a cannabidiol (CBD)-based nanoparticle designed to target multiple aspects of the condition’s underlying biology. Researchers from Yantai Institute of Technology, Yantai Center for Food and Drug Control, and Guangxi University developed a multifunctional nanoformulation that combines CBD with …
Study Finds CBD May Help Relieve Pain in Dogs With Osteoarthritis
A study published in Veterinary Evidence finds that cannabidiol (CBD) oil may provide additional pain relief for dogs with osteoarthritis when used alongside standard treatments. Researchers analyzed four clinical studies examining whether oral CBD supplementation improves pain and mobility outcomes in dogs diagnosed with osteoarthritis. The studies included two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover trials, along …
CBD-Infused Hydrogels Show Potential for Treating Chronic Wounds, Study Finds
Published in Current Reviews in Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology, a new review finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may have strong potential in treating chronic wounds when delivered through advanced hydrogel systems designed to improve healing. Researchers from Amity University examined how CBD’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and tissue-repair properties could be harnessed more effectively through “smart” hydrogels—engineered …
Study: Cannabidiol Shows Potential to Target Key Drivers of Diabetic Heart Disease
A study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy reports cannabidiol (CBD) may help address multiple underlying mechanisms involved in diabetic heart disease. Conducted by researchers from Bowen University, North-West University, Nelson Mandela University, and the University of the Western Cape, the review highlights CBD’s potential to impact several pathways linked to cardiovascular complications in people with …
