Cannabis Root Nanoparticles Show Promise in Protecting Skin Cells From UVB Damage
A new study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found that nanoparticles derived from Cannabis sativa root cultures may help protect skin cells from UVB-related damage. Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology examined extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles isolated from cannabis adventitious root cultures, referred to as CA-NPs. The study focused …
CBD Reduces Lung Injury by Targeting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Cell Death Pathways: Study
A new study published in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences found that cannabidiol (CBD) may help protect against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury, a serious condition linked to oxidative stress, inflammation and tissue damage. The study was conducted by researchers from Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University and Suleyman Demirel University. For the study, researchers used …
Adolescent Delta-8 Use Remained Unchanged Even as Marijuana Use Fell, Study Finds
A new study published by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that while marijuana use among U.S. 12th graders declined in recent years, reported use of delta-8 THC remained unchanged. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the University of Washington analyzed nationally representative data from the Monitoring the Future Study, focusing on …
Study: Cannabichromevarin Shows Promise as Potential Antiviral Candidate Against Measles
A new study published in Scientific Reports found that certain minor cannabinoids may have potential as antiviral candidates targeting the measles virus, with cannabichromevarin (CBCV) emerging as the strongest lead. Researchers from Mohammed V University in Rabat and Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health used computer modeling to examine whether minor cannabinoids could inhibit …
Study Finds Cannabinoid-Based Treatments Improved Liver and Metabolic Markers in Animal Model
Cannabinoid-based treatments improved several metabolic and liver-health markers in an animal model of diet-induced metabolic liver disease, reports a study published recently in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Researchers from Curtin University, the University of Western Australia and the University of Parma examined the effects of cannabidiol (CBD), oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and a synthetic compound …
Pediatric THC-Positive ER Drug Screens in Illinois “Did Not Increase With State Legalization,” Study Finds
A new study published in The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine found that recreational marijuana legalization in Illinois was not associated with a significant increase in pediatric emergency department patients testing positive for THC. Researchers from Midwestern University conducted a retrospective cohort study examining pediatric urine drug screens collected at a suburban community hospital emergency …
Study: Robotic Testing Method Enables Rapid Screening of Pesticides in Cannabis Flower
A study published in Talanta found that a robotic platform paired with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) can rapidly screen cannabis for pesticide residues using a small, sustainable sample preparation process. Researchers from the University of Messina and the University of Urbino Carlo Bo developed an automated method for testing Cannabis sativa L. flowering …
Study Finds Inhaled CBD Reversed Seizure and Inflammation-Related Effects of Chronic Nicotine Exposure
A new study published in Experimental Lung Research found that inhaled CBD reversed several seizure-related and inflammatory effects linked to chronic nicotine pouch exposure in mice. Researchers from Augusta University examined how acute and chronic oral nicotine exposure affected seizure vulnerability, neuroinflammation and glymphatic function, while also testing whether inhaled CBD could counteract those effects. …
Study Finds Medical Cannabis Linked to Long-Term Improvements in Hypermobility-Related Chronic Pain
A new study published in Clinical Rheumatology found that cannabis-based medicinal products were associated with sustained improvements in pain, anxiety and sleep among patients with hypermobility-associated chronic pain. Researchers from Imperial College London analyzed data from 240 patients enrolled in the UK Medical Cannabis Registry who were prescribed cannabis-based medicinal products for hypermobility spectrum disorders …
