Delineating Purinergic Signaling in Drosophila
Simplistic models can aid in discovering what is important in the context of normal and pathological behavior. First recognized as a genetic model more than 100 years ago, to date, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) still remain an astonishingly good ...

Purinergic signaling in atherosclerosis
Cell surface expression of specific receptors and ectonucleotidases makes extracellular nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, and adenosine suitable as signaling molecules for physiological and pathological events, including tissue stress and damage. Recent

Purinergic signaling in the airways
: Evidence for a significant role and impact of purinergic signaling in normal and diseased airways is now beyond dispute. The present review intends to provide the current state of knowledge of the involvement of purinergic pathways in the upper and ...

Purinergic signaling and microglia
Microglial cells are considered as the pathologic sensors of the brain. In this paper, we review mechanisms of purinergic signaling in microglia. As ATP is not only considered as a physiological signaling substance but is also elevated in pathology, it ...

Purinergic signaling in kidney disease [PDF]
Nucleotides are key subunits for nucleic acids and provide energy for intracellular metabolism. They can also be released from cells to act physiologically as extracellular messengers or pathologically as danger signals.

The concept of purinergic neurotransmission was proposed in 1972, after it was shown that adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) was a transmitter in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory nerves in the guinea pig taenia coli.

In Memoriam Geoffrey Burnstock: Creator of Purinergic Signaling
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 and Calcium Signaling in Macrophage Function and Plasticity [PDF]
In addition to a fundamental role in cellular bioenergetics, the purine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays a crucial role in the extracellular space as a signaling molecule.
