Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression
Brain Sciences, 2020 It is established that purinergic signaling can shape a wide range of physiological functions, including neurotransmission and neuromodulation. The purinergic system may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, influencing neurotransmitter ...

Purinergic signaling: A new front-line determinant of resistance and susceptibility in leishmaniasis
Biomedical Journal, 2022 Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that causes several clinical manifestations. Parasites of the genus Leishmania cause this disease. Spread across five continents, leishmaniasis is a particular public health problem in developing countries ...

The role of purinergic signaling in microglial responses
Stress and Brain, 2021 Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), are key to the maintenance of homeostasis in the brain parenchyma. In the intact brain, microglia continuously survey the microenvironment with ramified processes.

Purinergic Receptors in Adipose Tissue As Potential Targets in Metabolic Disorders
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017 Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides, such as adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are involved in many physiological and pathological processes in adipose tissue (AT).

Purinergic signalling pathway: therapeutic target in ovarian cancer
Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2020 Background The lack of early diagnostic tools and the development of chemoresistance have made ovarian cancer (OC) one of the deadliest gynaecological cancers.

Extracellular ATP released by osteoblasts is a key local inhibitor of bone mineralisation [PDF]
, 2013 Previous studies have shown that exogenous ATP (>1µM) prevents bone formation in vitro by blocking mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. This effect is thought to be mediated via both P2 receptor-dependent pathways and a receptor-independent ...

Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]
, 2002 Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 Obesity has become one of the major public health problems in both the developing and developed countries. Recent studies have suggested that the purinergic signalling is involved in obesity-associated end-organ damage through purine P1 and P2 receptors.

Purinergic mechanisms in neuroinflammation: An update from molecules to behavior. [PDF]
, 2015 The principle functions of neuroinflammation are to limit tissue damage and promote tissue repair in response to pathogens or injury. While neuroinflammation has utility, pathophysiological inflammatory responses, to some extent, underlie almost all ...
