The Role of Microglial Purinergic Receptors in Pain Signaling
Molecules, 2022 Pain is an essential modality of sensation in the body. Purinergic signaling plays an important role in nociceptive pain transmission, under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions, and is important for communication between both neuronal ...

Glial Purinergic Signaling in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
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-

In Memoriam Geoffrey Burnstock: Creator of Purinergic Signaling
Function, 2020 Geoff Burnstock (1929–2020) discovered purinergic signaling in a fastidious research that started in early 1960 and culminated in a concept of purinergic nerves in 1972.

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.

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.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 There is ongoing dispute on the question whether CNS neurons possess ATP-sensitive P2X7 receptors (Rs) or whether only non-neuronal cells bear this receptor-type and indirectly signal to the neighboring neurons. We genetically deleted P2X7Rs specifically
