Endocannabinoid System
Chaitra Subramanyam

The endocannabinoid system is a rich network of signaling within the skin that modulates inflammation and sebum production. This activity provides an overview to the endocannabinoid system and agents that can target the endocannabinoid receptors. The evidence for the use of topical endocannbinoids will be reviewed and summarized in the context of the skin barrier and inflammatory disease.
