The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction? [PDF]
, 2013 Purinergic signaling within the kidney is becoming an important focus in the study of renal health and disease. The effectors of ATP signaling, the P2Y and P2X receptors, are expressed to varying extents in and along the nephron.

Purinergic signalling and diabetes [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2013 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 ...

New insights into purinergic receptor signaling in neuronal differentiation, neuroprotection, and brain disorders [PDF]
, 2007 Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y purinergic receptors are expressed in the central nervous system and participate in the synaptic process particularly associated with acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate neurotransmission. As a result of activation, the

Emerging roles of purinergic signaling in anti-cancer therapy resistance
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cancer is a complex disease with a rapid growing incidence and often characterized by a poor prognosis. Although impressive advances have been made in cancer treatments, resistance to therapy remains a critical obstacle for the improvement of patients ...

Purinergic Signaling in Liver Pathophysiology [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides activate a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as purinergic receptors, comprising adenosine and P2Y receptors. Furthermore, purinergic P2X ion channels are activated by ATP. These receptors are expressed in liver resident cells and play a critical role in maintaining liver function.

The role of purinergic signaling in microglial responses
Stress and Brain, 2021 Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), are key to the maintenance of homeostasis in the brain parenchyma. In the intact brain, microglia continuously survey the microenvironment with ramified processes.
