Study Finds Cannabinoid Compounds Trigger Ferroptosis in Aggressive Brain Cancer Cells
According to a study published by The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. cannabinoid compounds may help kill glioblastoma cells by triggering ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death. The study was conducted by researchers from Ankara Medipol University. It focused on glioblastoma multiforme, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor, which is known for its …
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 …
Study: CBD Boosts Methotrexate’s Anti-Arthritis Effects While Reducing Reproductive Toxicity
A new study published by the journal International Immunopharmacology found that combining cannabidiol (CBD) with methotrexate may improve treatment outcomes for rheumatoid arthritis while also reducing some of methotrexate’s harmful side effects. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College examined whether CBD could work alongside methotrexate, a commonly used …
Study: CBN and THCV Effective in Reducing Alcohol Intake, Outperforming CBD
New research published this week in Alcohol and Alcoholism and conducted by researchers from Vilnius University in Lithuania finds that certain non-psychoactive marijuana compounds may significantly reduce alcohol consumption, with some showing greater effectiveness than cannabidiol (CBD). The study examined three phytocannabinoids—cannabinol (CBN), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and CBD—in rats with long-term voluntary alcohol use. Researchers found …
Study: Cannabis-Based Treatments Linked to Long-Term Improvements in Migraine Symptoms and Quality of Life
A study published in Brain and Behavior by researchers from Imperial College London and King’s College London found that cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMPs) are associated with sustained improvements in migraine symptoms, anxiety, sleep quality, and overall quality of life, based on patient-reported outcomes tracked for up to two years. The research analyzed data from 203 …
Study: CBD May Help Block HIV Transmission Through Multiple Mucosal Pathways
A new study published in the journal Mucosal Immunology found that cannabidiol (CBD) blocked several early steps involved in HIV-1 transmission in lab and tissue-based models, leading researchers to suggest that commercially available CBD products could potentially be repurposed as a form of pre-exposure prophylaxis. According to the study, HIV-1 transmission depends heavily on the …
Study: Cannabinoid Therapy Linked to Reduced Pain and Improved Outcomes in Prostate Cancer Patients
A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids found that cannabinoid therapy can help reduce pain and improve quality of life in men with prostate cancer, while also showing potential signs of impacting disease activity. Researchers from Tshwane University of Technology, Durban University of Technology, and the University of Alberta followed 90 …
Study: CBD Found to Significantly Reduce Lung Inflammation in Acute Lung Injury
A study published in Phytomedicine by researchers from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine found that cannabidiol (CBD) may significantly reduce lung inflammation and immune system overactivation associated with acute lung injury. Acute lung injury and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome, are marked by excessive inflammation in the lungs, impaired oxygen exchange, …
Study: Low-Dose CBD Found Safe for People With HIV on Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy, With Potentially Beneficial Physiological Changes
A clinical trial published in Cannabis & Cannabinoid Research found that low doses of CBD appear safe for people living with HIV who are on long-term antiretroviral therapy, with researchers also noting some potentially beneficial physiological changes. Researchers from Université d’Orléans and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d’Orléans conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 80 participants with …
