How can innovative research methodologies improve our understanding of cannabinoid interactions in the body? Innovative research methodologies, such as advanced imaging techniques, in vivo models, and omics technologies, can significantly improve our understanding of cannabinoid interactions in the body. Utilizing imaging methods allows researchers to visualize cannabinoid receptor activity and distribution in real-time, providing insights into their physiological effects. Additionally, employing multi-omics approaches, including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, can elucidate the complex interactions between cannabinoids and biological systems. Integrating interdisciplinary methods, such as pharmacogenomics and systems biology, can enhance our understanding of individual variability in cannabinoid responses. By adopting innovative research methodologies, researchers can deepen their knowledge of cannabinoid pharmacology and inform therapeutic applications (Hurd et al., 2020).
