Hypoxia induces purinergic receptor signaling to disrupt endothelial barrier function
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Blood-brain-barrier permeability is regulated by endothelial junctional proteins and is vital in limiting access to and from the blood to the CNS. When stressed, several cells, including endothelial cells, can release nucleotides like ATP and ADP that ...

Purinergic Signalling: Therapeutic Developments
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017 Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990’s when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and ...

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development
Sleep Research, EarlyView.Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Adenosine—A Regulator of Human Testicular Peritubular Cells
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Extracellular purines, in particular ATP and adenosine, are regulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the human body. Roles in the human testis are emerging and include actions on peritubular cells, which form the wall of seminiferous tubules.

Purine and purinergic receptors
Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2018 Adenosine 5′-triphosphate acts as an extracellular signalling molecule (purinergic signalling), as well as an intracellular energy source. Adenosine 5′-triphosphate receptors have been cloned and characterised. P1 receptors are selective for adenosine, a

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

CX3CR1 Modulates Migration of Resident Microglia Towards Cortical Laser‐Induced Lesions
Glia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.CX3CR1 deficiency promotes microglial migration toward CNS injury. Proteomic profiling reveals altered RHO‐mediated cytoskeletal signaling, while in vivo two‐photon imaging demonstrates increased process extension, velocity, and accumulation of Cx3cr1‐deficient microglia at lesion sites. ABSTRACT Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous

Purinergic Receptors in Ocular Inflammation
Mediators of Inflammation, 2014 Inflammation is a complex process that implies the interaction between cells and molecular mediators, which, when not properly “tuned,” can lead to disease.
