Endocannabinoid System - Short Lecture
This 30-minute lecture download, presented as an invited lecture at the Cannabinoid-Derived Drug Development Summit on January 20, 2021, offers an insightful exploration into the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The presentation is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the ECS, a complex cell-signaling system identified in the early 1990s, and its significant role in maintaining bodily homeostasis.
Key Highlights:
Fundamentals of the ECS: Introduction to the basic components of the ECS, including cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and the enzymes involved in their synthesis and degradation.
ECS and Human Health: Discussion on how the ECS influences various physiological processes like mood, memory, appetite, pain sensation, and immune responses.
Therapeutic Potential: Exploration of how manipulation of the ECS can offer therapeutic benefits, particularly in the development of cannabinoid-derived drugs.
Challenges and Opportunities: Addressing the challenges in ECS research and the potential opportunities it presents for future drug development.
The lecture is tailored for professionals in the field of medical research and drug development, aiming to deepen their understanding of the endocannabinoid system and its potential in medical science.
