Circadian ATP Release in Organotypic Cultures of the Rat Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Is Dependent on P2X7 and P2Y Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
The circadian rhythms in physiological and behavioral functions are driven by a pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The rhythms continue in constant darkness and depend on cell-cell communication between neurons and glia.

Cannabinoid receptors contribute to astroglial Ca2+-signalling and control of synaptic plasticity in the neocortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is thought to be very important for many brain functions. Acting via release of gliotransmitters, astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength.

Pre- and postsynaptic actions of ATP on neurotransmission in rat submandibular ganglia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The pre- and postsynaptic actions of exogenously applied ATP were investigated in intact and dissociated parasympathetic neurotics of rat submandibular ganglia.

Enzymatic Degradation of Poly(Butylene Adipate‐co‐Terephthalate)/Poly(Lactic Acid) Blends

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 21, Page 4537-4545, 1 November 2025.
ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is regularly blended with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) to produce compostable plastic films used in packaging applications, for example. Since PLA and PBAT both contain ester bonds, these PBAT/PLA blends are interesting candidates for enzymatic recycling.

Novel vasocontractile role of the P2Y14receptor: characterization of its signalling in porcine isolated pancreatic arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background and Purpose: The P2Y14 receptor is the newest member of the P2Y receptor family; it is Gi/o protein-coupled and is activated by UDP and selectively by UDP-glucose and MRS2690 (2-thiouridine-5′-diphosphoglucose) (7–10-fold more potent than UDP ...

Hepatic ENTPD5 Is Critical for Maintaining Metabolic Homeostasis and Promoting Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.
ENTPD5‐mediated conversion of extracellular adenosine triphosphate to ADP of hepatocytes is critical for maintaining hepatic glucose/lipid metabolism and promoting brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the inhibition of adrenomedullin expression and secretion.

Hemolysis in human erythrocytes by Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin requires activation of P2 receptors

open access: yesVirulence, 2018
Epsilon-toxin (ETX) is produced by types B and D strains of Clostridium perfringens, which cause fatal enterotoxaemia in sheep, goats and cattle. Previous studies showed that only a restricted number of cell lines are sensitive to ETX and ETX-induced ...

Altered purinergic signaling in uridine adenosine tetraphosphate-induced coronary relaxation in swine with metabolic derangement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We previously demonstrated that uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) induces potent and partially endothelium-dependent relaxation in the healthy porcine coronary microvasculature.
