The Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoids for Integumentary Wound Management

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader The Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoids for Integumentary Wound Management Via Experimental Dermatology Abstract The increasing legalization of Cannabis for recreational and medicinal purposes in the United States has spurred renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids (CBs) for human disease. The skin has its own endocannabinoid system (eCS) which is a key regulator of various homeostatic processes, including those necessary for normal physiologic wound healing. Data on the use of CBs for wound healing is scarce. Compelling pre‐clinical evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of CBs to improve wound healing by modulating key molecular pathways is herein reviewed. These findings merit further exploration in basic science, translational and clinical studies. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
