Abstract

Cannabidiol (CBD) extracts have gained attention for their therapeutic efficacy. The present study used a zebrafish embryo tail fin amputation model and found that 1.25 mg / L crude CBD extract accelerated tail fin regeneration and reduced apoptosis after amputation, without altering mitotic regenerative cells.
