Simmering, low-level inflammation throughout the body is responsible
for many disease processes, ranging from osteoarthritis and
cardiovascular disease, to digestive disorders and neurodegeneration.
The bioactive molecules, known as cannabinoids, found in plants of the Cannabis
species, have been shown to possess powerful anti-inflammatory
attributes, and research into their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and
tolerability are underway. To explore the potential for
cannabinoid-based and/or endocannabinoid-targeted therapeutics in the
realm of human disease, and particularly diseases with an inflammatory
component, The Scientist is bringing together a panel of
experts to discuss their research, and to offer insight into the rewards
and challenges of studying a biomedical application for a well-known,
but controlled, substance. Attendees will have the opportunity to
interact with the experts, ask questions, and seek advice on topics
related to their research.
Topics to be covered:
- Exogenous and endogenous cannabinoid mechanisms of action in the setting of inflammatory disease
- Targeting the endocannabinoid system for therapeutic effects
