Study: Clinical Trial Finds CBD/CBDA Safe for Dogs Undergoing Chemotherapy
A new randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial has found that short-term supplementation with CBD/CBDA-rich hemp oil appears safe and well-tolerated in dogs receiving chemotherapy for lymphoma. The study, conducted by researchers from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, the University of California, and the University of Florida, was published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine. …
Study: Cannabidiol Reduces Seizures and Extends Lifespan in Animal Model of Rare Genetic Epilepsy
Researchers have found that cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduces seizures and extends survival in a mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1 (DEE1), a rare and drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy. The study, published in Epilepsia, involved a collaboration between researchers from the National Research Council of Italy, the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, the …
Study: Nanofiber System Combining CBD and Levosulpiride Improves Brain Delivery for Anxiety and Depression Treatment
A new preclinical study published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics has found that combining cannabidiol (CBD) with levosulpiride in a novel nanofiber-based delivery system significantly enhances brain-targeted therapy for anxiety and depression. Researchers from the School of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in India developed a supramolecular inclusion complex (Levo-CBD-C-P-IC), incorporating CBD and levosulpiride within …
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.

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 …
