Glial Purinergic Signaling in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
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-

Purinergic signaling in the male reproductive tract. [PDF]
Purinergic receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and they participate in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of cell function during normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis. [PDF]
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.

Purinergic signaling: A gatekeeper of blood-brain barrier permeation. [PDF]
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.

Emerging roles of purinergic signaling in anti-cancer therapy resistance
Cancer is a complex disease with a rapid growing incidence and often characterized by a poor prognosis. Although impressive advances have been made in cancer treatments, resistance to therapy remains a critical obstacle for the improvement of patients ...

Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression
It is established that purinergic signaling can shape a wide range of physiological functions, including neurotransmission and neuromodulation. The purinergic system may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, influencing neurotransmitter ...

Purinergic Signaling in Bone [PDF]
In recent years, it has become apparent that extracellular nucleotides, signalling via P2 receptors, play an important role in the regulation of bone turnover. Furthermore, purinergic signalling has been associated in the pathophysiology of several bone and cartilage diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis and might ...
