Metabolic Changes Induced by Purinergic Signaling: Role in Food Intake

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The purinergic signalling has a well-established role in the regulation of energy homeostasis, but there is growing evidence of its implication in the control of food intake.

Astrocytes in human central nervous system diseases: a frontier for new therapies

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
Astroglia are a broad class of neural parenchymal cells primarily dedicated to homoeostasis and defence of the central nervous system (CNS). Astroglia contribute to the pathophysiology of all neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders in ways that can ...

Purinergic signalling, DAMPs and inflammation.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology, 2020
Danger sensing is one of the most fundamental evolutionary features enabling multicellular organisms to perceive potential threats, escape from risky situations, fight actual intruders and repair damage.

Purinergic Signaling during Inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Receptors for ATP and ADP and adenosine exert various effects. ATP and ADP signaling is mainly proinflammatory, and adenosine signaling is mainly antiinflammatory. Receptors for these nucleosides are emerging as therapeutic targets in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy to alleviate depression

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Astrocyte atrophy is the main histopathological hallmark of major depressive disorder (MDD) in humans and in animal models of depression. Here we show that electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy in the prefrontal cortex and alleviates depressive ...

Purinergic signaling in epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Research, 2016
Until recently, analysis of the mechanisms underlying epilepsy was centered on neuron dysfunctions. Accordingly, most of the available pharmacological treatments aim at reducing neuronal excitation or at potentiating neuronal inhibition. These therapeutic options can lead to obvious secondary effects, and, moreover, seizures cannot be controlled by any

Purinergic signalling [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2006
While there were early papers about the extracellular actions of purines, the role of ATP as a purinergic neurotransmitter in nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves in the gut and bladder in 1972 was a landmark discovery, although it met considerable resistance for the next 20 years. In the early 1990s, receptors for purines were cloned: four P1 receptor
