Are CB2 Receptors a New Target for Schizophrenia Treatment?

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Schizophrenia is a complex disorder that involves several neurotransmitters such as dopamine, glutamate, and GABA. More recently, the endocannabinoid system has also been associated with this disorder.

Cytotoxicity Potency of Cannabinoids Is by Serum Supplementation: Implications for In Vitro Cancer Studies

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fetal calf serum (FCS) is a key supplement in cell culture, providing nutrients, and growth factors that support cancer cell proliferation. Studies suggest that compound cytotoxicity profiles in vitro vary depending on FCS concentration in culture medium. The study aimed to examine how extracellular conditions influence the in vitro

Identification and Structural Elucidation of a New Synthetic Cannabinoid, MDMB‐5′Br‐PINACA, in Seized Herbal Materials

Drug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 334-340, March 2026.
MDMB‐5Br‐PINACA, a novel synthetic cannabinoid, was identified and structurally characterized in seized herbal products using GC‐MS, LC‐HRMS, and NMR. The discovery underscores ongoing diversification of SCs and the need for vigilant surveillance.

Remote Ischemia Preconditioning Attenuates Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Breakdown in Rats Undergoing Spinal Cord Ischemia Reperfusion Injury: Associated with Activation and Upregulation of CB1 and CB2 Receptors

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has protective effects on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the potential mechanisms remain unclear. In our study, the effects and underlying mechanisms of RIPC on blood-spinal cord

The endocannabinoid system regulates both ependymoglial and neuronal cell responses to a tail amputation in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 3, Page 321-339, March 2026.
Abstract Background The endocannabinoid system is a neuromodulatory system implicated in cellular processes during both development and regeneration. The Mexican axolotl, one of only a few vertebrates capable of central nervous system regeneration, was used to examine the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regeneration of the tail and spinal ...

Synthesis and Preliminary Evaluation of a 2-Oxoquinoline Carboxylic Acid Derivative for PET Imaging the Cannabinoid Type 2 Receptor

Pharmaceuticals, 2014
Cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 (CB2) has been shown to be up-regulated in activated microglia and therefore plays an important role in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and ...

Mechanisms of spinal glial activation in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy: Focus on microglia and astrocytes

Ibrain, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 65-85, Spring 2026.
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

Commentary: Functional Neuronal CB2 Cannabinoid Receptors in the CNS [PDF]

Current Neuropharmacology, 2011
Cannabinoids are the constituents of the marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa). There are numerous cannabinoids and other natural compounds that have been reported in the cannabis plant. The recent progress in marijuana-cannabinoid research include the discovery of an endocannabinoid system with specific genes coding for cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) that ...

Progress in Gastroparesis Management: From Pharmacotherapy to Interventional Treatments

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gastroparesis is a sensorimotor condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying without any obvious mechanical obstruction. Common symptoms include early satiety, nausea, vomiting, belching, and bloating. The most frequent causes of gastroparesis are diabetes, idiopathic factors, and post‐surgical complications.
