Purinergic receptors in skeletal muscles in health and in muscular dystrophy
, 2014 The P2 purinergic (nucleotide) receptor super-family comprises of two families of protein. The P2X, which are channel-forming ionotropic receptors and the P2Y metabotropic receptors activating G protein-mediated signalling pathways.

, 2013 P2X receptors are expressed on ventrolateral medulla projecting paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons. Here, we investigate the role of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) in modulating sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) at the level of the PVN.

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

Purinergic signaling during Porphyromonas gingivalis infection
Biomedical Journal, 2016 Despite recent advances unraveling mechanisms of hostâpathogen interactions in innate immunity, the participation of purinergic signaling in infection-driven inflammation remains an emerging research field with many unanswered questions.

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

The P2X receptor mediated regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]
In the central nervous system ATP can be released by neurons and glial cells through similar pathways as other neurotransmitters. Extracellular ATP targets P2X purinoreceptors, causing an influx of Ca2+ ions which transmit very important messages for ...

Stimulation of glia reveals modulation of mammalian spinal motor networks by adenosine
, 2015 This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund for University of St. Andrews.Despite considerable evidence that glia can release modulators to influence the excitability of neighbouring neurons, the importance of ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.
