Glial Purinergic Signaling in Neurodegeneration
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Purinergic signaling regulates neuronal and glial cell functions in the healthy CNS. In neurodegenerative diseases, purinergic signaling becomes dysregulated and can affect disease-associated phenotypes of glial cells. In this review, we discuss how cell-
