“as THC has been shown to inhibit both clinical and histologic [experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis], it may prove to be a new and relatively innocuous agent for the treatment of immune-mediated […]
Cannabinoids as novel anti-inflammatory drugs (2009)
“It is becoming increasingly clear that cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands play a crucial role in the regulation of the immune system. Exogenous cannabinoids have been shown to suppress […]
Cannabinoids and the immune system: potential for the treatment of inflammatory diseases? (2011)
“Cannabinoids can modulate both the function and secretion of cytokines from immune cells. Therefore, cannabinoids may be considered for treatment of inflammatory disease.” Kozela, E., Lev, N., Kaushansky, N., Eilam, […]
Cannabidiol inhibits pathogenic T cells, decreases spinal microglial activation (2011)
“Treatment with CBD during disease onset ameliorated the severity of the clinical signs of [experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis]. This effect of CBD was accompanied by diminished axonal damage and inflammation as […]
Cannabinoids Decrease the Th17 Inflammatory Autoimmune Phenotype (2013)
“Here we show that the main psychoactive cannabinoid, Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and the main nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), markedly reduce the Th17 phenotype which is known to be increased in inflammatory […]
