The Role of Purinergic Signaling in Heart Transplantation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Heart transplantation remains the optimal treatment option for patients with end-stage heart disease. Growing evidence demonstrates that purinergic signals mediated by purine nucleotides and nucleosides play vital roles in heart transplantation ...

Purinergic Receptors: Elucidating the Role of these Immune Mediators in HIV-1 Fusion
Viruses, 2020 Purinergic receptors are inflammatory mediators activated by extracellular nucleotides released by dying or injured cells. Several studies have described an important role for these receptors in HIV-1 entry, particularly regarding their activity on HIV-1

Purinergic signaling: A gatekeeper of blood-brain barrier permeation
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 This review outlined evidence that purinergic signaling is involved in the modulation of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. The functional and structural integrity of the BBB is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment.

Changes in P2Y Purinergic Receptor Expression in the Ciliary Body in a Murine Model of Glaucoma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017 Glaucoma is a neuropathology, often accompanied by an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to blindness. Since DBA/2J mice develop glaucoma, several studies of the physiopathology of glaucoma have been reported in this animal model.

Purines, Purinergic Receptors, and Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2012 AbstractPurines were long thought to be restricted to the intracellular compartment, where they are used for energy transactions, nucleic acid synthesis, and a multiplicity of biochemical reactions. However, it is now clear that both adenosine and adenosine triphosphate are (i) abundant biochemical components of the tumor microenvironment, (ii) potent ...
