Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the colon that can cause abdominal pain, tissue damage, and long-term digestive issues. In this study, researchers investigated whether a hemp extract rich in cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) could reduce symptoms of colitis using a well-established mouse model. The extract was administered both orally and by […]

CBD and THC in Endometriosis: Insights on Pain, Inflammation, and Underlying Mechanisms (Pub. Feb 2026)
Endometriosis is a chronic condition driven by inflammation, nerve sensitization, and abnormal tissue growth, often leading to persistent pelvic pain and reduced quality of life. This review explores how cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) may interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a key regulator of pain, immune response, and hormonal balance. Researchers highlight that […]
Cannabinoids, the Blood–Brain Barrier, and Neurodegeneration: Emerging Therapeutic Insights (pub. Feb 2026)
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis are closely linked to dysfunction of the blood–brain barrier (BBB)—a protective layer that regulates what enters and exits the brain. This review explores how cannabinoids interact with the BBB and the endocannabinoid system, which plays a key role in maintaining brain balance. Researchers highlight that in […]
