Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising tool in regenerative medicine due to their ability to secrete paracrine factors that modulate tissue repair. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by MSCs contain bioactive molecules (e.g.

Background: Cannabidiol, which is one of the main cannabinoids present in plants, has been shown to have therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may be useful for treatment of various kidney conditions.
Objectives: This article investigates the effect of long-term cannabidiol (CBD) treatment on changes in the renal transcriptome in a mouse model. The main hypothesis was that systematic CBD treatment would affect gene expression associated with those processes in the kidney.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is abundant in the Cannabis sativa plant and exhibits complex immunomodulatory, anxiolytic, antioxidant, and antiepileptic properties. Several studies suggest that CBD could be used for different purposes in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-related injuries to the brain and the liver. In this study, we focused on analyzing transcriptional alterations in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) cell line challenged simultaneously with ethanol and CBD as an ethanol-protective agent.
