Purinergic signaling and cholangiocyte regeneration: a new frontier in ischemic liver injury [PDF]

Frontiers in Transplantation
Cholangiocytes—the epithelial cells lining the biliary tree—are especially vulnerable to ischemic injury, particularly in the setting of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). This susceptibility stems from their reliance on an arterial blood supply and

Expression of Purinergic and Endothelial Activation Markers in Brain Tissue From Fatal Microcephaly Associated With ZIKV [PDF]

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus that has gained global attention due to its association with congenital microcephaly and neuroinflammatory responses. Markers of endothelial activation and purinergic signaling have been identified in the context of ZIKV neuropathogenesis, although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Purinergic Signaling in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Huntington’s Disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating, progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This condition is characterized by motor dysfunction (chorea in the early stage, followed by bradykinesia, dystonia ...

Prenatal exposure to valproic acid induces alterations in the expression and activity of purinergic receptors in the embryonic rat brain

Folia Neuropathologica, 2022
Purinergic signalling is involved in the control of several processes related to brain development, such as neurogenesis and gliogenesis, migration and differentiation of neuronal precursors, synaptogenesis and synaptic elimination to achieve a fully ...
