Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Cannabinoids in Obesity.

TL;DR: The conversion of white in beige adipose tissue is a potential new therapeutic target for obesity and Stimulation of CB2, principally localized on peripheral cells instead, should facilitate the anti-obesity effects without exerting remarkable psychotropic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2: A Possible Target in SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-19) Infection?

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CB2 receptor can be a therapeutic target in COVID-19 pandemic emergency, where patients manifest exacerbated inflammatory and immune responses, cytokine storm, prevalence of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and increased levels of resident and circulating immune cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Endocannabinoid/Endovanilloid System in Bone: From Osteoporosis to Osteosarcoma

TL;DR: More studies to better investigate the biochemical mechanisms underlining the EC/EV system effects in bone are needed, but the synthesis of hybrid molecules, targeting these receptors and capable of oppositely regulating bone homeostasis, seems to be a promising and encouraging prospective in bone disease management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mifamurtide and TAM-like macrophages: effect on proliferation, migration and differentiation of osteosarcoma cells

TL;DR: The data suggest that Mifamurtide, switching macrophage polarization towards a TAM-like intermediate M1/M2 phenotype, may modulate the delicate balance between pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory macrophages functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Endocannabinoid System in Pediatric Inflammatory and Immune Diseases.

TL;DR: An overview on the role of the endocannabinoid system with a major focus on cannabinoid receptors in the pathogenesis and onset of inflammatory and autoimmune pediatric diseases, such as immune thrombocytopenia, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, obesity, neuroinflammatory diseases, and type 1 diabetes mellitus is provided.
