Role of CD39 in COVID-19 Severity: Dysregulation of Purinergic Signaling and Thromboinflammation
CD39/NTPDase1 has emerged as an important molecule that contributes to maintain inflammatory and coagulatory homeostasis. Various studies have hypothesized the possible role of CD39 in COVID-19 pathophysiology since no confirmatory data shed light in ...

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

Visual Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the basic hallmarks of cellular pathology in neurodegenerative diseases. Since the metabolic activity of neurons is highly dependent on energy supply, nerve cells are especially vulnerable to impaired ...

Purinergic signalling 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. Since then the expression of nearly all the P2Y and P2X receptors by osteoblasts and osteoclasts has been reported, mediating multiple processes including cell ...

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.

Purinergic signaling in scarring [PDF]
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 modulate crucial pathophysiological responses.

Purinergic signalling and diabetes [PDF]
The pancreas is an organ with a central role in nutrient breakdown, nutrient sensing and release of hormones regulating whole body nutrient homeostasis. In diabetes mellitus, the balance is broken-cells can be starving in the midst of plenty. There are indications that the incidence of diabetes type 1 and 2, and possibly pancreatogenic diabetes, is ...

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

Delineating Purinergic Signaling in Drosophila. [PDF]
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 laboratory stand-in for scientists to study development and physiology and to investigate the ...
