Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.

Trichomoniasis immunity and the involvement of the purinergic signaling
Biomedical Journal, 2016 Innate and adaptive immunity play a significant role in trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. In the urogenital tract, innate immunity is accomplished by a defense physical barrier constituted by epithelial ...

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-

P2RX1-Involved Glycolytic Metabolism Supports Neutrophil Activation in Acute Pancreatitis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by disordered inflammation of the pancreas, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Purinergic signaling plays crucial roles in initiating and amplifying inflammatory signals.
