Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.Proinflammatory activation reorganizes microglial A2A and CB2 receptors, promoting their incorporation into stable heteromers and blocking agonist‐induced redistribution. The results reveal those heteromers as potential therapeutic targets in inflammatory contexts.

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future
Brazilian 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.

Role of adenosine A2a receptor in cancers and autoimmune diseases
Immunity, 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.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5440-5457, September 2026.Background and purpose Adult neurogenesis is a tightly regulated process affected by both cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and adenosine 2A (A2A) receptors, both of which modulate neural progenitor cell activity. While emerging evidence suggests an interaction between these neuromodulatory systems, the extent and mechanism of their interplay in ...

An emerging role for adenosine and its receptors in bone homeostasis
Frontiers 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.

Astrocytes in Genetic Epilepsies: Supporting Actor or Key Player?
Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.Astrocytes contribute to the pathophysiology of acquired epilepsy. However, less is known about their contribution to genetic epilepsy syndromes which often exhibit frequent comorbidity with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Epileptic seizures are also frequently present in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Control of Gut Inflammation by Modulation of Purinergic Signaling
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a serious inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two of the most common IBD manifestations and are both associated with unfettered inflammation, often

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

P2X and P2Y receptor signaling in red blood cells
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2015 Purinergic signaling involves the activation of cell surface P1 and P2 receptors by extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides such as adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), respectively.
