How can the interaction between cannabinoids and the immune system inform new therapeutic approaches? The interaction between cannabinoids and the immune system can inform new therapeutic approaches by revealing mechanisms through which cannabinoids modulate immune responses and inflammation. Cannabinoids have been shown to influence various immune cells, including T cells and macrophages, potentially providing therapeutic benefits in conditions characterized by chronic inflammation or autoimmunity. Understanding these interactions can lead to the development of cannabinoid-based therapies aimed at regulating immune responses in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, cannabinoid research may inform strategies for enhancing immune function in cases of immunosuppression. Ultimately, exploring the cannabinoid-immune system relationship may open new avenues for innovative therapeutic interventions (Friedman et al., 2019).
