Innovative Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoid Receptors as Targets in Alzheimer's disease and Less Well-Known Diseases.
TLDR
The current knowledge of the therapeutic potential of cannabinoid receptor as a target in Alzheimer's disease and other less well-known diseases that include, among others, multiple sclerosis, bone metabolism, and Fragile X syndrome is reviewed.
An in Vitro investigation of the effects of Rimonabant (a cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist) on cell adhesion and inflammatory associated cytokine production
TLDR
The main aim of this study is to investigate the in vitro effects of Rimonabant alone and in combination with anandamide on inflammatory associated cytokine production by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and macrophage cultures.
Medical Use of Cannabinoids
TLDR
There is evidence for a role of the endocannabinoid system in the control of emotional states, and cannabinoids could prove useful in decreasing and palliating post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and anxiolytic disorders.
Cannabinoids as Modulators of Cell Death: Clinical Applications and Future Directions.
TLDR
The main properties of cannabinoids in cell death are described and attempts to clarify the different pathways triggered by these compounds that may help to understand the complexity of respective molecular mechanisms and explore the potential clinical benefit of cannabinoids use in cancer therapies.

β-arrestins: regulatory role and therapeutic potential in opioid and cannabinoid receptor-mediated analgesia.
TLDR
This review of the literature suggests that the development of opioid and cannabinoid agonists that bias MOR and CB1R toward G protein signaling cascades and away from β-arrestin interactions may provide a novel mechanism by which to produce analgesia with less severe adverse effects.

TLDR
Several derivatives of traditional dibenzopyran based cannabinoids have also been found to have significant selectivity for the CB(2) receptor, and 1-deoxy-3-(1',1'-dimethylbutyl)-Delta(8)-THC (JWH-133) shows two hundred-fold selectivity in comparison to many cannabinoid receptor ligands.
