Fifty years ago (in 1964) the psychoactive ingredient of Cannabis sativa, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), was isolated. Nearly 30 years later the endogenous counterparts of THC, collectively termed endocannabinoids (eCBs), were discovered: N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) in 1992, and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in 1995. Since then, considerable research has shed light on the impact of eCBs on human health and disease, identifying an ensemble of proteins that bind, synthesize and degrade them, and that altogether form the eCB system. eCBs control basic biological processes, including cell-choice between survival and death, and progenitor/stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Not surprisingly, in the past two decades, eCBs have been recognized as key mediators of several aspects of human pathophysiology, and thus have emerged among the most widespread and versatile signaling molecules ever discovered. Here, some of the pioneers of this research field review the state-of-the-art of critical eCB functions in peripheral organs. Our community effort is aimed at establishing consensus views on the relevance of the peripheral eCB system for human health and disease pathogenesis, as well as to highlight emerging challenges and therapeutic hopes.
