Peer-reviewed studies focused on the compound cannabidiol (CBD), which is a nonpsychoactive component of the cannabis plant.
Study: CBD Shown to Protect Human Cartilage Cells From Ferroptosis, a Key Contributor to Osteoarthritis
A new study published in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may help protect human cartilage cells from ferroptosis, a specific type of cell death linked to the development of osteoarthritis and other orthopedic diseases. Researchers at Paracelsus Medical University evaluated the effects of CBD on human articular chondrocytes exposed …
Study: CBD Oil-Infused Biopolymer Film Packaging Withstands Moisture, Degrades Quickly, and Kills Bacteria
A new study published in Polymer Testing explores how hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) oil and boronic acid-functionalized chitosan can be used to create more durable, sustainable, and antimicrobial biopolymer packaging. Researchers from Copernicus University and Poznan University in Poland developed starch-based films infused with 3% cannabis oil, then enhanced them through a cross-linking technique using chitosan …
Study: Hemp Seed Oil Significantly Improves Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) Symptoms
New research published in Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences found that a hemp seed oil-based topical emulsion led to a marked improvement in symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Researchers from the Medical University of Silesia, University of Opole, and De Montfort University in the UK conducted a three-month interventional study on a 23-year-old male …
Study: CBD May Protect Against Heart Failure by Improving Mitochondrial Function and Reducing Inflammation
A new study has found that cannabidiol (CBD) may offer significant cardioprotective benefits for individuals with heart failure by preserving mitochondrial function, limiting oxidative stress, and reducing inflammation. In an animal model of heart failure (HF), researchers administered subcutaneous doses of CBD every three days for four weeks. The study found that CBD effectively reduced …
Study: THC/CBD Powder More Than Doubles Cannabinoid Bioavailability Compared to Oil-Based Drops
A new study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research found that a powdered formulation of THC and CBD more than doubles cannabinoid bioavailability compared to traditional oil-based drops. The study involved 14 healthy adults who received two different oral formulations containing 8 mg of THC and 8 mg of CBD: one as standard oil …
Study: CBD and CBDV Show Potent Antifungal Effects, Including Against Drug-Resistant Pathogens
A new study published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases found that the cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidivarin (CBDV) display strong antifungal activity, including against the World Health Organization–listed priority pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Researchers from Macquarie University, the University of Sydney, and Monash University in Australia tested five phytocannabinoids and found that CBD and …
Study: CBD Reduces Seizures and Brain Damage in Post-Traumatic Epilepsy Model
A new study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may offer protective and anticonvulsant effects in cases of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). Researchers from Hunan University of Medicine and Ningxia Medical University in China conducted the study using a rat model of PTE triggered by ferric chloride (FeCl₃), including genetically modified rats …
Study: 3D-Printed CBD Stent Shows Promise for Localized Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment
According to a new study, researchers have developed a 3D-printed stent designed to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) using cannabidiol (CBD), potentially offering a targeted alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy. The study, published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, was conducted by scientists from the University of Bern in Switzerland and the University of Rome …
Study: Low Dose of CBD May Reverse Depression-Like Symptoms Caused by Stress by Restoring Brain Synapses
A new study published in Neuropharmacology suggests that even a very low dose of cannabidiol (CBD) may be enough to partially reverse symptoms of depression brought on by chronic stress. Researchers from the Universitat de Barcelona and the University of Greifswald used a well-established mouse model of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) to examine the effects …
