Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides.

Purinergic Receptor P2Y2 Regulates Neurogenesis and Functional Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury in Zebrafish

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
Although purinergic P2Y2 receptor can regulate neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neurogenesis in mammals, it is downregulated following spinal cord injury (SCI). It was previously unknown whether this receptor regulates these processes in the more‐regenerative zebrafish model, where the contribution of these responses allows near‐complete ...

Purinergic receptor expression in neuronal, bladder smooth muscle and urothelial cells: characterization and inhibition by low molecular weight antagonists [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
P2 purinoceptors comprise ionotropic (P2X) and metabotropic (P2Y) receptor families, responsive to nucleotide ligands and diversely distributed on virtually every mammalian cell. Most cells and tissues co-express multiple subtypes of purinoceptor; thus,

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 17, Page 2579-2614, September 2026.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 334-351, September 2026.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

Migraine: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, and Treatment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Migraine is a highly prevalent, female‐predominant, and disabling brain disorder shaped by genetic susceptibility, hormonal influences, modifiable attack factors, and comorbidity‐related progression. This review integrates current evidence on migraine epidemiology, phase‐specific neurovascular and neuroglial mechanisms, including CGRP signaling and ...

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca2+-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP. A physiological role of ATP release from

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

P2X1 and P2X5 subunits form the functional P2X receptor in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
ATP plays an important role in signal transduction between neuronal and glial circuits and within glial networks. Here we describe currents activated by ATP in astrocytes acutely isolated from cortical brain slices by non-enzymatic mechanical ...
