ABSTRACT Background Dandruff features epidermal scaling but lacks overt signs of inflammation, such as erythema. Characterisation of its inflammatory profile may improve understanding of the underlying inflammatory mechanisms and therefore indicate alternative approaches for treatment.

Off-Target Cannabinoid Effects Mediated by GPR55 [PDF]
Given the vast therapeutic potential of the endocannabinoid system, the revelation of a novel cannabinoid-sensitive target was treated with great excitement. The orphan G-protein coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) was initially touted as a novel cannabinoid target in early industrial patent literature.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of GPR55 agonists [PDF]
GPR55, a G protein-coupled receptor, is an attractive target to alleviate inflammatory and neuropathic pain and treat osteoporosis and cancer. Identifying a potent and selective ligand will aid to further establish the specific physiological roles and pharmacology of the receptor. Towards this goal, a targeted library of 22 compounds was synthesized in

Metabolic reprogramming contributes to oncogenesis, tumor growth, and treatment resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here we report the effects of (R,S′)-4′-methoxy-1-naphthylfenoterol (MNF), a GPR55 antagonist and biased β2-adrenergic ...

GPR55: a new promising target for metabolism? [PDF]
GPR55 is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that has been identified as a new cannabinoid receptor. Given the wide localization of GPR55 in brain and peripheral tissues, this receptor has emerged as a regulator of multiple biological actions. Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is generally accepted as the endogenous ligand of GPR55.

Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.

Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Microvascular Effects of Endocannabinoid Signaling in Sepsis: A Mechanistic and Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Microvascular dysfunction is a central determinant of organ failure in sepsis, reflecting early endothelial activation, increased permeability, and impaired capillary perfusion. Experimental evidence suggests that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) modulates these immunovascular processes, yet mechanistic insights remain dispersed across ...
