Université Laval Study: CBD Inhibits Dental-Plaque Bacteria and Biofilm Formation While Preserving Gum-Cell Viability

Researchers at Canada’s Université Laval reported in the International Journal of Dentistry that CBD inhibited growth and biofilm formation of Streptococcus oralis, a bacterium involved in early dental-plaque formation, while preserving human gum-cell viability at the tested concentrations. The findings suggest oral-health potential, but further research is needed before translation into products or treatment.

Systematic Review Finds Antidepressant-Like Effects of CBD Through Neuroplasticity, Inflammation and Neurotransmission Pathways

A systematic review by Brazilian researchers examining experimental studies from the past five years concluded that CBD may have antidepressant-like effects. It identifies multiple possible biological pathways, including neuroplasticity, inflammation regulation and neurotransmitter signaling, while underscoring the need for more human studies before clinical application.

Researchers Identify 227 Cannabis Terpenes and Map Genetic Drivers of Cultivar-Specific Aromas

A study published in Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B identified 227 cannabis terpenes and mapped genetic mechanisms that shape cultivar-specific aroma and terpene profiles. By combining genome sequencing, metabolite measurement, gene-expression analysis and enzyme assays, the work offers a resource for cultivar development and constituent-standardization research.
