Drug Delivery, 2021 Bioactive therapeutic molecules are generally impermeable to the cell membrane, hindering their utility and efficacy. A group of peptides called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) were found to have the capability of transporting different types of cargo ...

P2 receptors and chronic pain [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2007 There is abundant evidence that extracellular ATP and other nucleotides have an important role in pain signaling at both the periphery and in the CNS. The focus of attention now is on the possibility that endogenous ATP and its receptor system might be activated in chronic pathological pain states, particularly in neuropathic and inflammatory pain ...

BMC Immunology, 2006 Background Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection immortalizes primary B cells in vitro and generates lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), which are used for several purposes in immunological and genetic studies. Purinergic receptors, consisting of P2X and P2Y,

Physiologic roles of P2 receptors in leukocytes
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2022 AbstractSince their discovery in the 1970s, purinergic receptors have been shown to play key roles in a wide variety of biologic systems and cell types. In the immune system, purinergic receptors participate in innate immunity and in the modulation of the adaptive immune response. In particular, P2 receptors, which respond to extracellular nucleotides,

P2 Receptors and Platelet Activation [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2002 Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis by activating platelets. In platelets, the classical P2T receptor is now resolved into three P2 receptor subtypes: the P2Y1, the P2Y12, and the P2X1 receptors. Both pharmacological and molecular biological approaches have confirmed the role of the P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors in ...

P2 receptors in cardiovascular regulation and disease [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2007 The role of ATP as an extracellular signalling molecule is now well established and evidence is accumulating that ATP and other nucleotides (ADP, UTP and UDP) play important roles in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, acting via P2X (ion channel) and P2Y (G protein-coupled) receptors.

Role of the P2 × 7 receptor in neurodegenerative diseases and its pharmacological properties
Cell & Bioscience, 2023 Neurodegenerative diseases seriously affect patients’ physical and mental health, reduce their quality of life, and impose a heavy burden on society. However, their treatment remains challenging.
