Purinergic receptors in cognitive disturbances
Neurobiology of Disease, 2023 Purinergic receptors (Rs) of the ATP/ADP, UTP/UDP (P2X, P2Y) and adenosine (A1, A2A)-sensitive classes broadly interfere with cognitive processes both under quasi normal and disease conditions. During neurodegenerative illnesses, high concentrations of ATP are released from the damaged neuronal and non-neuronal cells of the brain; then, this ATP is ...

Purinergic and muscarinic modulation of the cell cycle and calcium signaling in the chick retinal ventricular zone [PDF]
, 2002 Spontaneous calcium transients occur in the ventricular zone of the chick retina and result from the endogenous release of neurotransmitters in the absence of action potentials.

Expression of P2 nucleotide receptors varies with age and sex in murine brain microglia
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2009 Microglia are implicated in multiple neurodegenerative disorders, many of which display sexual dimorphisms and have symptom onsets at different ages. P2 purinergic receptors are critical for regulating various microglial functions, but little is known ...

Pharmacochemistry of the platelet purinergic receptors [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2011 Platelets contain at least five purinergic G protein-coupled receptors, e.g., the pro-aggregatory P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptors, a P2Y(14) receptor (GPR105) of unknown function, and anti-aggregatory A(2A) and A(2B) adenosine receptor (ARs), in addition to the ligand-gated P2X1 ion channel.

New insights into purinergic receptor signaling in neuronal differentiation, neuroprotection, and brain disorders [PDF]
, 2007 Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y purinergic receptors are expressed in the central nervous system and participate in the synaptic process particularly associated with acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate neurotransmission. As a result of activation, the

The Potential of Purinergic Signaling to Thwart Viruses Including SARS-CoV-2
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 A long-shared evolutionary history is congruent with the multiple roles played by purinergic signaling in viral infection, replication and host responses that can assist or hinder viral functions.
