Spatio-Temporal Diversity of Calcium Activity in Microglia. [PDF]

Glia
Ca2+ activity mostly occurs in microglial processes and stays localized. When it spreads, it often shows a directional bias and is constrained by branch points. Activity strongly relies on P2Y12 receptors and is shaped by neuronal activity. ABSTRACT Microglia, the brain's innate immune cells, possess complex, highly motile branched processes. These act

Purinergic Signaling and Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity: The Opposing Roles of P1 (Adenosine) and P2 (ATP) Receptors on Cochlear Hair Cell Survival

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Purinergic signaling regulates important physiological processes and the homeostatic response to stress in the cochlea via extracellular nucleosides (adenosine) and nucleotides (ATP, UTP).

Purinergic Receptors in Adipose Tissue As Potential Targets in Metabolic Disorders

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017

Adenosine Receptor Agonists Exhibit Anti-Platelet Effects and the Potential to Overcome Resistance to P2Y₁₂ Receptor Antagonists

Molecules, 2019
Large inter-individual variation in platelet response to endogenous agonists and pharmacological agents, including resistance to antiplatelet therapy, prompts a search for novel platelet inhibitors and development new antithrombotic strategies.

The role of purinergic receptors in stem cell differentiation

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015
A major challenge modern society has to face is the increasing need for tissue regeneration due to degenerative diseases or tumors, but also accidents or warlike conflicts.

Purinergic Receptors in Ocular Inflammation

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
Inflammation is a complex process that implies the interaction between cells and molecular mediators, which, when not properly “tuned,” can lead to disease.

Comprehensive Genome-Wide Analysis of Shared Genetic Factors in Gastrointestinal and Neurodegenerative Diseases. [PDF]

Brain Behav
GI and ND GWAS and blood eQTL data were analyzed using LDSC, HDL, LAVA, GPA, PLACO, FUMA, MAGMA, SMR, HEIDI, and two‐sample MR to assess genetic correlations, pleiotropy, functional annotation, shared gene expression, and causal relationships. ABSTRACT Background This study investigates the shared genetic basis between gastrointestinal (GI) diseases ...

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Role of S1P‐ and Rho‐kinase signalling in age‐related myogenic tone deficiency in murine resistance arteries

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The myogenic response in resistance arteries is responsible for basal (myogenic) tone and blood flow autoregulation. G‐protein‐coupled receptors and G12/RhoA/Rho kinase are implicated in myogenic tone (MT), and we aimed to clarify their role in pressure sensing and ...

Metabolic reprogramming of efferocytosis in the tumour microenvironment: From apoptotic‐cell clearance to therapeutic targeting

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review systematically deconstructs the pathological efferocytic—metabolic axis in tumours, framing it as a three‐stage, self‐reinforcing cycle: from metabolite‐driven macrophage recruitment, through hijacked surface recognition, to post‐phagocytic metabolic reprogramming that locks in immunosuppression.
