Modified CBD molecules could help in the fight against skin disease – Health Europa
Researchers have modified the cannabidiol compound (CBD) found in cannabis to try to improve the properties that fight against skin disease.
A partnership between the University of Cordoba and the University of Dundee has shown for the first time that CBD induces the expression of heme oxygenase 1 an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory enzyme in cells on the top layer of the skin, known as keratinocytes, by suppressing the BACH1 protein.
Researchers are yet to understand how CBD acts upon different skin cells in order to have beneficial, antioxidant effects.
