Purinergic Signalling and Neurological Diseases: An Update.

CNS and Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2017
Purinergic signalling, i.e. ATP as an extracellular signalling molecule and cotransmitter in both peripheral and central neurons, is involved in the physiology of neurotransmission and neuromodulation.

A High‐Fidelity RNA‐Targeting Cas13X Downregulates Connexin43 in Macroglia: A Novel Neuroprotective Strategy for Glaucoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in mediating glia activation and neuroinflammation in glaucoma. Using Cx43 knockout mice, it is shown that macroglial cells‐derived Cx43 modulates microglial activation, proliferation, migration, and polarization.

Bispecific Antibody Targeting VEGF/TGF‐β Synergizes with Local Radiotherapy: Turning Tumors from Cold to Inflamed and Amplifying Abscopal Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Y332D, a bispecific antibody that simultaneously blockades VEGF and TGF‐β, counteracted negative RT effects that are attributed to the upregulation of TGF‐β and VEGF, as well as further enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of RT, thereby reprograming the TME from immune “cold” to inflamed state and forming an effective in‐situ vaccine that eradicate ...

A polycystin-type transient receptor potential (Trp) channel that is activated by ATP

Biology Open, 2017
ATP and ADP are ancient extra-cellular signalling molecules that in Dictyostelium amoebae cause rapid, transient increases in cytosolic calcium due to an influx through the plasma membrane.

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

An emerging role for adenosine and its receptors in bone homeostasis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Bone is continually being remodelled and defects in the processes involved lead to bone diseases. Many regulatory factors are known to influence remodelling but other mechanisms, hitherto unknown, may also be involved.

Mesenchymal stem cells from tumor microenvironment favour breast cancer stem cell proliferation, cancerogenic and metastatic potential, via ionotropic purinergic signalling

Scientific Reports, 2017
Interaction between tumor cells and the microenvironment is key in initiation, progression, and invasiveness of cancer. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recruited to the sites of developing tumors, thus promoting metastasis formation ...

Genetics of Response to ECT, TMS, Ketamine and Esketamine

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Treatment‐resistant mood disorders are often managed with intensive interventions that include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine, and esketamine, but the role of genetics in clinical response to those interventions is yet to be clearly determined.

Gout and NLRP3 Inflammasome Biology

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
This review describes the three broad stages of acute inflammation in the context of gout: initiation, leucocyte mobilization, and self‐resolution. A typical case of a gout flare is presented. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in acute monosodium urate crystal–induced inflammation is reviewed in detail.

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the mechanism that exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and summarizes the application of cell‐ or plant‐derived exosomes or engineered exosomes in periodontitis or periodontal regeneration while proposing the perspective of translational application of ...
