Cannabinoids and Inflammations of the Gut-Lung-Skin Barrier

Cristian Scheau et al.

Summary: Recent studies have found great similarities and interferences between the epithelial layers of the digestive tract, the airways and the cutaneous layer, leading to the definition of a gut-lung-skin barrier. Inflammation seems to involve common features in these tissues, and analyzing the modulation of its biomarkers can provide significant data for understanding specific signaling pathways and cellular effects. Cannabinoids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, have been explored in relation to the inflammation of the gut-lung-skin barrier epithelia, with recent advancements detailed in the use of cannabinoids as anti-inflammatory substances in various disorders of the gut, lungs and skin.
