Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Cannabinoids in Obesity.
Francesca Rossi,Francesca Punzo,Giuseppina Rosaria Umano,Maura Argenziano,Emanuele Miraglia del Giudice +4 more
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
Francesca Rossi,Chiara Tortora,Francesca Punzo,Giulia Bellini,Maura Argenziano,Alessandra Di Paola,Marco Torella,Silverio Perrotta +7 more
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
Francesca Punzo,Giulia Bellini,Chiara Tortora,Daniela Di Pinto,Maura Argenziano,Elvira Pota,Alessandra Di Paola,Martina Di Martino,Francesca Rossi +8 more
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.
Maura Argenziano,Chiara Tortora,Giulia Bellini,Alessandra Di Paola,Francesca Punzo,Francesca Rossi +5 more
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.
