Bladder Function and Cannabinoids: Pagano (2015) and Beyond

The bladder expresses CB1 and CB2 receptors throughout its tissue layers, and the Pagano group found CBG the most effective of five cannabinoids tested in reducing bladder contractility — what that finding means, what it doesn't, and where the research stands.

CBG and Skin: Receptor Expression, Inflammation, and Early Research

The skin is not simply a surface — it is a layered organ with its own endocannabinoid system. Understanding the receptor landscape across skin tissue types provides the mechanistic foundation for reading CBG skin research accurately.
