Cannabidiol reduces atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms in a Gabrb3+/D120N mouse model of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1263-1275, August 2026.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Preclinical drug development for LGS is constrained by a lack of syndrome‐relevant animal models. We aimed to evaluate a Gabrb3+/D120N knock‐in (KI) mouse model of LGS by quantifying atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms and ...

Preclinical Investigation in Neuroprotective Effects of the GPR55 Ligand VCE-006.1 in Experimental Models of Parkinson’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Cannabinoids act as pleiotropic compounds exerting, among others, a broad-spectrum of neuroprotective effects. These effects have been investigated in the last years in different preclinical models of neurodegeneration, with the cannabinoid type-1 (CB1 ...

Early and Divergent Lipid Mediator Remodelling in Fast Versus Slow Skeletal Muscles of Female hSOD1G93A Mice

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) drives loss of muscle strength, function and quality of life in ALS patients. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates muscle homeostasis via regenerative and metabolic processes, and although ECS alterations have been reported in ALS neural tissues, ECS remodelling ...

GPR55 is expressed in glutamate neurons and functionally modulates drug taking and seeking in rats and mice

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry
G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) has been thought to be a putative cannabinoid receptor. However, little is known about its functional role in cannabinoid action and substance use disorders.

The Relationship Between (Endo)cannabinoids, the Microbiome and Melanoma

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 4, August 2026.
CB1 and CB2 receptors are widely distributed in both normal and cancerous cells. Cannabinoids have a positive impact on reducing tumor growth in mice. A positive relationship exists between CB2 receptors and survival in skin melanoma. However, there is a negative impact on non‐small cell lung cancer and colon cancer, whereas a higher association of CB1

Some Prospective Alternatives for Treating Pain: The Endocannabinoid System and Its Putative Receptors GPR18 and GPR55

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Background: Marijuana extracts (cannabinoids) have been used for several millennia for pain treatment. Regarding the site of action, cannabinoids are highly promiscuous molecules, but only two cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) have been deeply studied ...

Expression of cannabinoid (CB1 and CB2) and cannabinoid-related receptors (TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα) in the synovial membrane of the horse metacarpophalangeal joint

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
BackgroundThe metacarpophalangeal joint undergoes enormous loading during locomotion and can therefore often become inflamed, potentially resulting in osteoarthritis (OA).

Cannabigerol Alleviates Obesity‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Cardiolipin Fatty Acid Remodeling

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Graphical overview of the effects of the high‐fat, high‐sucrose (HFHS) diet regime and 2‐week cannabigerol (CBG) treatment on the intramuscular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) trafficking and lipid metabolism, with subsequent implications for mitochondrial cardiolipin (CL) composition in the red gastrocnemius muscle.

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.
