Cannabidiol-Loaded Extracellular Vesicles from Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Key Findings:  This mouse and lab model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) by paclitaxel found that cannabidiol (CBD) in extracellular vesicles (EV) reduced mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity better than CBD alone or EV alone. Results hypothesize that CBD-EVs may present an effective treatment option for cancer patients with for CIPN.
