Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary blood flow via vasa recta pericytes [PDF]
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins. We have previously shown that exogenous ATP causes constriction of vasa

Extracellular ATP and Neurodegeneration
ATP is a potent signaling molecule abundantly present in the CNS. It elicits a wide array of physiological effects and is regarded as the phylogenetically most ancient epigenetic factor playing crucial biological roles in several different tissues. These can range from neurotransmission, smooth muscle contraction, chemosensory signaling, secretion and ...

Abstract figure legend Exacerbated ATP signalling in the carotid body (CB) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) arises from expansion of the chemosensory glomus cell compartment and reduced extracellular ATP metabolism, leading to increased purinergic drive.

Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability. (

Recent experimental evidence indicates that some cancer cells have an alternative glycolysis pathway with net zero ATP production, implying that upregulation of glycolysis in these cells may not be related to the generation of ATP.

Changes in contractile characteristics of rat skeletal muscles associated with P2-receptor activation after spinal cord transection [PDF]
Introduction. Traumatic spinal cord and peripheral-nerve injury is associated with release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which may stimulate neuronal activity.

HIF‐Regulated Pannexin‐1 Channel Drives Luminal ATP Accumulation in Kidney Cysts
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease causes progressive cyst enlargement in the kidneys, leading to hypoxia and induction of HIF‐1α. Our study identifies HIF‐1α‐dependent transcriptional upregulation of Pannexin1 (PANX1) in the apical membrane of cyst epithelial cells, promoting ATP release into the cyst lumen.

The intranasal delivery of exogenous mitochondria is a potential therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). The regulatory mechanisms and effectiveness in genetic models remains uncertain, as well as the impact of modulating the mitochondrial permeability ...
