Purinergic Signaling in Bone [PDF]
Journal of Osteoporosis, 2013 In recent years, it has become apparent that extracellular nucleotides, signalling via P2 receptors, play an important role in the regulation of bone turnover. Furthermore, purinergic signalling has been associated in the pathophysiology of several bone and cartilage diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis and might ...

Delineating Purinergic Signaling in Drosophila
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 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 ...

ATP and Adenosine in the Retina and Retinal Diseases
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Extracellular ATP and its ultimate degradation product adenosine are potent extracellular signaling molecules that elicit a variety of pathophysiological pathways in retina through the activation of P2 and P1 purinoceptors, respectively.

Purinergic signaling in scarring
The FASEB Journal, 2015 ABSTRACT 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. Regulation of

Purinergic signaling in kidney disease [PDF]
Kidney International, 2017 Nucleotides are key subunits for nucleic acids and provide energy for intracellular metabolism. They can also be released from cells to act physiologically as extracellular messengers or pathologically as danger signals. Extracellular nucleotides stimulate membrane receptors in the P2 and P1 family. P2X are ATP-activated cation channels; P2Y and P1 are

Blocking P2X purinoceptor 4 signalling alleviates cigarette smoke induced pulmonary inflammation
Respiratory Research, 2022 Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with elevated ATP levels in the extracellular space. Once released, ATP serves as danger signal modulating immune responses by activating purinergic receptors.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work presents ARC‐3D, a soft 3D model that recreates how brain support cells, called astrocytes, react to oxidative stress. The system visualizes rapid calcium changes and inflammatory signals, and shows how the drug KDS12025 can protect cells from damage. ARC‐3D offers a simple, reliable way to study early drivers of brain inflammation.
