Purinergic and Adenosinergic Signaling in Pancreatobiliary Diseases
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), other nucleotides, and the nucleoside analogue, adenosine, all have the capacity to modulate cellular signaling pathways.

Trigeminal ganglion (TG) is the first station of sensory pathways in the orofacial region. The TG neurons communicate with satellite glial cells (SGCs), macrophages and other cells forming a functional unit that is responsible for processing of orofacial

P2RX1-Involved Glycolytic Metabolism Supports Neutrophil Activation in Acute Pancreatitis
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.

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

The Role of Microglial Purinergic Receptors in Pain Signaling
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 ...

The Role of Purinergic Signaling in Heart Transplantation
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 ...

Mitochondria Synergize With P2 Receptors to Regulate Human T Cell Function
Intracellular ATP is the universal energy carrier that fuels many cellular processes. However, immune cells can also release a portion of their ATP into the extracellular space.

Purine and purinergic receptors in health and disease
Purines and purinergic receptors are widely distributed throughout the human body. Purine molecules within cells play crucial roles in regulating energy metabolism and other cellular processes, while extracellular purines transmit signals through ...
