This study shows chronic THC vapor exposure in rats affects brain endocannabinoid and immune systems but not peripheral organs, leading to gut microbiota changes and altered metabolites.

This study shows CBD reduces viral replication and immune activation in HIV/SIV models, suggesting it could be a useful adjunct to antiretroviral therapy.

This study tests if oral CBD reduces opioid withdrawal symptoms in rats, finding no significant effect on physical or anxiety-like withdrawal symptoms.

This study examines THC vapor self-administration in rats, finding that pre-exposure to THC increases intake and that females show higher responding under certain conditions.

The paper evaluates gene expression of endocannabinoid receptors across species and organs, revealing limited cross-species overlap and highlighting challenges in translational research.

This study uses PET imaging with [18F]ASEM to assess reproducibility, occupancy, receptor density, and changes in a7-nAChR in schizophrenia patients.
