Purinergic Signaling and Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity: The Opposing Roles of P1 (Adenosine) and P2 (ATP) Receptors on Cochlear Hair Cell Survival [PDF]
Purinergic signaling regulates important physiological processes and the homeostatic response to stress in the cochlea via extracellular nucleosides (adenosine) and nucleotides (ATP, UTP).

Role of P1 purinergic receptors in myocardial ischemia sensory transduction [PDF]
To characterize the role that cardiac sensory P(1) purinergic (adenosine A(1) or A(2)) receptors play in transducing myocardial ischemia.Porcine nodose ganglion cardiac sensory neuron adenosine A(1) or A(2) receptor function was studied in situ during control states as well as in the presence of the peptides bradykinin and substance P or focal ...
