Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical found in the Cannabis sativa plant. This plant, which contains more than 80 chemicals called cannabinoids, is also called marijuana.
CBD presents a diverse array of effects through interaction with receptors CB1, CB2, and TRPV1
Due to this wide range of effects, CBD plays an essential role in ameliorating a range of diseases.
Recent studies demonstrated effects in various systems, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders, with a particular emphasis on cancers and autoimmune disorders.
We will accept papers that are literature reviews and original papers presenting in silico, in vitro, or in vivo research, but papers that fall outside these criteria will also be considered.
Prof. Dr. Patricia Fernandes
Guest Editor
