Tuning Up In Vitro Growth and Development of Cannabis sativa: Recent Advances in Micropropagational Approach
Abstract Cannabis sativa is used for multiple purposes, notably for its medicinal properties. It produces various secondary metabolites, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, which have therapeutic value and typically produce high amounts in female plants. [...]
Integrated Management of Pathogens and Microbes in Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabis) under Greenhouse Conditions
Abstract The increased cultivation of high THC-containing Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis), particularly in greenhouses, has resulted in a greater incidence of diseases and molds that can negatively affect the growth and quality of the [...]
Flowering Synchronization Using Artificial Light Control for Crossbreeding Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) with Varied Flowering Times
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), one of the earliest domesticated crops, has diverse applications in textiles, construction, nutrition, and medicine. Breeding advancements, including speed breeding, accelerate genetic improvements in crops by optimizing environmental conditions [...]
Tray drying of medical cannabis inflorescences at industrial scale: Kinetics measurement and modeling towards the implementation of statistical process control
Abstract The production of medical cannabis in compliance with the guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice requires a science-based control strategy for the process. In this work, we hypothesized that industrial tray drying process of cannabis [...]

Optimal Treatment with Cannabis Extracts Formulations Is Gained via Knowledge of Their Terpene Content and via Enrichment with Specifically Selected Monoterpenes and Monoterpenoids
Abstract Differences between therapeutic effects of medical cannabis inflorescences and those of their extracts are generally attributed to the differences in administration form and in the resultant pharmacokinetics. We hypothesized that difference may further [...]
Exploring the diversity of cannabis cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid compounds and their roles in Alzheimer’s disease: A review
Abstract Cannabis sativa is recognized for its chemical diversity and therapeutic potential, particularly in addressing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Given the complexity of AD, where single-target therapies often prove inadequate, a [...]
Hypothesized pharmacogenomic and medication influences on tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol metabolism in a cohort of unselected oral cannabis users
Background Differences in cannabinoid metabolism and patient responses can arise even with equivalent doses and formulations. Genetic polymorphisms in genes responsible for cannabinoid metabolism and medications that alter CYP450 pathways responsible for metabolism of [...]
Cannabis Use and Age-Related Changes in Cognitive Function From Early Adulthood to Late Midlife in 5162 Danish Men
Abstract Introduction: Cannabis is by far the most widely used and abused drug listed on the Drug Enforcement Administration's Schedule I, which includes drugs with a high potential for abuse. There is evidence of [...]
