Manipulation of P2X Receptor Activities by Light Stimulation

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
P2X receptors are involved in amplification of inflammatory responses in peripheral nociceptive fibers and in mediating pain-related signals to the CNS.

Intrinsic pH chemosensitivity of acutely dissociated medullary serotonergic and retrotrapezoid neurones

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Central respiratory chemoreceptors (CRCs) are critical for maintaining normal systemic levels of pH and PCO2. A CRC must respond to pH via intrinsic mechanisms. Here we quantified intrinsic chemosensitivity of medullary 5‐HT neurones and retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) neurones using acute dissociation.

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

P2X receptors and acupuncture analgesia

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 2019
Purinergic signaling has recently been suggested to constitute the cellular mechanism underlying acupuncture-induced analgesia (AA). By extending the original hypothesis on endogenous opioids being released during AA, Geoffrey Burnstock and Maiken Nedergaard supplied evidence for the involvement of purinoceptors (P2 and P1/A1 receptors) in the ...

P2X3 receptor antagonism improves hindlimb blood flow during exercise in a conscious ovine model of hypertensive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A preclinical large‐animal model of hypertensive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was used to examine the role of purinergic P2X3 receptor signalling during treadmill exercise. Animals were instrumented with either thoracic cardiac output and coronary flow probes or abdominal renal and hindlimb blood flow ...

Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acidosis depolarises parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and increases their firing frequency by reducing TWIK‐2 channel conductance. Acidosis also activates astrocytes, which further enhance neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor‐dependent glutamatergic signalling.

A shared mechanism for TNP-ATP recognition by members of the P2X receptor family

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
P2X receptors (P2X1–7) are non-selective cation channels involved in many physiological activities such as synaptic transmission, immunological modulation, and cardiovascular function.

P2X receptors as targets for the treatment of status epilepticus

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Prolonged seizures are amongst the most common neurological emergencies. Status epilepticus is a state of continuous seizures that is life-threatening and prompt termination of status epilepticus is critical to protect the brain from permanent damage ...

From Mechanical Perturbation to Pathological Locking: Temporal–Mechanical Evolution of the Postsynaptic Density After Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2026.
The postsynaptic density (PSD) may convert traumatic mechanical loading into persistent synaptic dysfunction. This review proposes a temporal–mechanical model in which PSD injury progresses from hyperacute mechanical deconstruction (Phase I) through an acute‐to‐subacute metabolic–mechanical crisis (Phase II) to chronic low‐dynamic pathological locking (
