Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s involve the progressive loss of nerve cells, leading to movement problems, memory decline, and cognitive challenges. Because current treatments often only ease symptoms, researchers are exploring whether phytocannabinoids—naturally occurring compounds from the Cannabis sativa plant—might influence the biological processes behind these disorders. This review article summarizes recent preclinical […]

Cannabinoids and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: Implications for Cancer Spread (pub. Jun 2025)
Cancer metastasis—the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor to other parts of the body—is a major cause of cancer‑related illness and death. One biological process that may play a role in metastasis involves neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web‑like structures released by immune cells called neutrophils that can trap pathogens but may also interact […]
Cannabidiol (CBD) Shows Promise for Supporting Dogs With Atopic Dermatitis (pub. Feb 2025)
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition common in dogs, often causing persistent itching, redness, and discomfort. In this study, researchers explored whether cannabidiol (CBD)—a non‑psychoactive compound from hemp—might help ease skin symptoms in dogs with atopic dermatitis. Because this condition involves inflammation and immune system activity, scientists looked at CBD’s potential effects on […]
