Biology of Platelet Purinergic Receptors and Implications for Platelet Heterogeneity
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018 Platelets are small anucleated cells present only in mammals. Platelets mediate intravascular hemostatic balance, prevent interstitial bleeding, and have a major role in thrombosis.

Targeting purinergic receptors to attenuate inflammation of dry eye. [PDF]
Purinergic Signal, 2023 Inflammation is one of the potential factors to cause the damage of ocular surface in dry eye disease (DED). Increasing evidence indicated that purinergic A_1, A_2A, A_3, P2X4, P2X7, P2Y_1, P2Y_2, and P2Y_4 receptors play an important role in the ...

Alterations of Purinergic Receptors Levels and Their Involvement in the Glial Cell Morphology in a Pre-Clinical Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2023 Recent data suggest that defects in purinergic signalling are a common denominator of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), though nothing is known about whether the disorder-related imbalance occurs at the receptor level.
