The role of reactive enteric glia‐macrophage interactions in acute and chronic inflammation
Abstract Enteric glia are a heterogeneous population of peripheral glia within the enteric nervous system and play pivotal roles in gut homeostasis, tissue integrity, coordination of motility, and intestinal immune responses. Under physiological conditions, they communicate with enteric neurons to control intestinal motility.

Purinergic receptors in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, characterized by the presence of focal lesions in white and grey matter with peripheral immune cells infiltration. Purinergic receptors control immune cell function as well as neuronal and oligodendroglial survival, and the activation of astrocytes ...

Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.

Purinergic receptors and gastrointestinal secretomotor function [PDF]
Secretomotor reflexes in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are important in the lubrication and movement of digested products, absorption of nutrients, or the diarrhea that occurs in diseases to flush out unwanted microbes. Mechanical or chemical stimulation of mucosal sensory enterochromaffin (EC) cells triggers release of serotonin (5-HT) (among other ...

Abstract Adipose tissue has an established endocrine function through the secretion of adipokines. However, a role for bioactive metabolites and lipids, termed metabokines and lipokines, is emerging in adipose tissue‐mediated autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signalling and inter‐organ communication. Traditionally seen as passive entities, metabolites

Purinergic receptors in the endocrine and exocrine pancreas [PDF]
The pancreas is a complex gland performing both endocrine and exocrine functions. In recent years there has been increasing evidence that both endocrine and exocrine cells possess purinergic receptors, which influence processes such as insulin secretion and epithelial ion transport. Most commonly, these processes have been viewed separately.
