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 ...

Glial Purinergic Signaling in Neurodegeneration
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 bone [PDF]
Purinergic signaling in bone was first proposed in the early 1990s with the observation that extracellular ATP could modulate events crucial to the normal functioning of bone cells.

Cardiomyocytes HIPK2 regulates myocardial inflammation and heart function through purinergic signaling [PDF]
Purinergic signaling is critical to myocardial inflammation and function. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well defined. Herein, we identified a protein kinase, homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2), as a novel regulator of ...

Purinergic signaling in schistosomal infection [PDF]
Human schistosomiasis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by blood fluke worms belonging to the genus Schistosoma. Health metrics indicate that the disease is related to an elevated number of years lost-to-disability and years lost-to-life ...

Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression [PDF]
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 Spermatogenesis
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 in scarring
Adenosine (ADO) and nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, and uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP), among others, may serve as extracellular signaling molecules. These mediators activate specific cell-surface receptors - namely, purinergic 1 and 2 (P1 and P2) - to ...
