Purinergic Signaling in Controlling Macrophage and T Cell Functions During Atherosclerosis Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Atherosclerosis is a hardening and narrowing of arteries causing a reduction of blood flow. It is a leading cause of death in industrialized countries as it causes heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease.

Development of the neurohypophysis: A major neuroendocrine interface

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The neurohypophysis is a major central neuroendocrine interface regulating reproductive functions and water homeostasis. Distinct neurovascular cell types interact via evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules in the developing neurohypophysis, providing a model system for studying principles in neuroendocrine interface morphogenesis.

Purinergic Receptors in Ocular Inflammation

open access: yesMediators 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.

Role of adenosine A2a receptor in cancers and autoimmune diseases

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2023
Adenosine receptors are P1 class of purinergic receptors that belong to G protein‐coupled receptors. There are 4 subtypes of adenosine receptors, namely A1, A2A, A2B, and A3. A2AR has a high affinity for the ligand adenosine.

Murine and Human-Purified very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells (VSELs) Express Purinergic Receptors and Migrate to Extracellular ATP Gradient

open access: yesStem Cell Reviews and Reports
Purinergic signaling is an ancient primordial signaling system regulating tissue development and specification of various types of stem cells. Thus, functional purinergic receptors are present in several types of cells in the body, including multiple ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 22, Page 3208-3243, November 2025.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

An emerging role for adenosine and its receptors in bone homeostasis

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Bone is continually being remodelled and defects in the processes involved lead to bone diseases. Many regulatory factors are known to influence remodelling but other mechanisms, hitherto unknown, may also be involved.
