Purinergic and Calcium Signaling in Macrophage Function and Plasticity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
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.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Play an Analgesic Role Through a Npy2r Sensory Neuron‐Mediated Lung‐to‐Brain Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are considered a promising alternative for neuropathic pain (NP) treatment, but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Huang et al. illustrate that a Npy2r sensory neuron‐related lung–brain axis contributes to MSC analgesia.

Activation of Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase (ERK1/2) by Fluid Shear is Ca\u3csup\u3e2+\u3c/sup\u3e- and ATP-dependent in MC3T3-E1 Osteoblasts [PDF]

, 2008
To determine the role of Ca2+ signaling in activation of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway, we subjected MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells to inhibitors of Ca2+ signaling during application of fluid shear stress (FSS).

Endogenous Repair in Vanishing White Matter

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Vanishing white matter is a leukodystrophy with remarkable regional variation in disease severity. The cerebral and cerebellar white matter chronically degenerates, while stress‐induced episodes of rapid neurological deterioration coincide with the appearance of acute focal lesions in the deep gray structures and brainstem.

Purinergic signaling: A gatekeeper of blood-brain barrier permeation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
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 key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]

, 2013
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides. Whilst there is a wealth of literature

Engineering a Perfusion Bioreactor System for hiPSC‐Derived Progenitor Co‐Culture Capturing Microglial Features in CNS Development

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
The authors report the development of a controlled and scalable 3D co‐culture system combining hiPSC‐derived erythromyeloid progenitors and neurospheres within the Ambr® 250 Modular platform operated with a newly designed perfusion system. This model faithfully recapitulates early microglia–neural interactions, enabling progenitor integration ...
