Long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling: purinoceptors control cell proliferation, differentiation and death [PDF]

, 2010
The purinergic signalling system, which uses purines and pyrimidines as chemical transmitters, and purinoceptors as effectors, is deeply rooted in evolution and development and is a pivotal factor in cell communication.

Role of P2X7 on steroid synthesis in murine luteal cells

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016
The extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regulates different cellular functions through activating purinergic receptors as a signalling molecule or neurotransmitter. P2X7 is highly expressed in murine small luteal cells.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate sodium nitrite-induced hypoxic brain injury in a rat model

Neural Regeneration Research, 2017
Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is an inorganic salt used broadly in chemical industry. NaNO2 is highly reactive with hemoglobin causing hypoxia. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into a variety of tissue specific cells and MSC therapy ...

Adenosine accumulation in the blood of newborn mice weakens antimicrobial host defenses [PDF]

Pediatric intensive care patients are particularly susceptible to severe bacterial infections because of ineffective neutrophil responses. The reasons why neutrophils of newborns are less responsive than those of adults are not clear.

Purinergic receptor mediated calcium signalling in urothelial cells [PDF]

, 2019
Non-neuronal ATP released from the urothelium in response to bladder stretch is a key modulator of bladder mechanosensation. Whilst non-neuronal ATP acts on the underlying bladder afferent nerves to facilitate sensation, there is also the potential for ...
