Purinergic Receptors in Spinal Cord-Derived Ependymal Stem/Progenitor Cells and Their Potential Role in Cell-Based Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

Cell Transplantation, 2015
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with no current therapies. Following SCI, large amounts of ATP and other nucleotides are released by the traumatized tissue leading to the activation of purinergic receptors that, in coordination ...

Pannexin 1 Modulates Axonal Growth in Mouse Peripheral Nerves

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
The pannexin family of channels consists of three members—pannexin-1 (Panx1), pannexin-2 (Panx2), and pannexin-3 (Panx3) that enable the exchange of metabolites and signaling molecules between intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Hepatic ENTPD5 Is Critical for Maintaining Metabolic Homeostasis and Promoting Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.
ENTPD5‐mediated conversion of extracellular adenosine triphosphate to ADP of hepatocytes is critical for maintaining hepatic glucose/lipid metabolism and promoting brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the inhibition of adrenomedullin expression and secretion.

From Genome to Geroscience: How DNA Damage Shapes Systemic Decline

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
Persistent DNA damage triggers systemic secretory responses including damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This non‐cell‐autonomous signaling disrupts intercellular communication, driving organism‐wide dysfunction and aging, and offering new therapeutic ...

The role of dinucleoside polyphosphates on the ocular surface and other eye structures [PDF]

, 2016
Dinucleoside polyphosphates comprises a group of dinucleotides formed by two nucleosides linked by a variable number of phosphates, abbreviated NpnN (where n represents the number of phosphates). These compounds are naturally occurring substances present

A High‐Fidelity RNA‐Targeting Cas13X Downregulates Connexin43 in Macroglia: A Novel Neuroprotective Strategy for Glaucoma

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
This study highlights the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in mediating glia activation and neuroinflammation in glaucoma. Using Cx43 knockout mice, it is shown that macroglial cells‐derived Cx43 modulates microglial activation, proliferation, migration, and polarization.

Purinergic signaling: a common pathway for neural and mesenchymal stem cell maintenance and differentiation

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Extracellular ATP, related nucleotides and adenosine are among the earliest signaling molecules, operating in virtually all tissues and cells. Through their specific receptors, namely purinergic P1 for nucleosides and P2 for nucleotides, they are ...

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

Co-localization of P2Y1 receptor and NTPDase1/CD39 within caveolae in human placenta

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (NTPDase1/ CD39) is the dominant ecto-nucleotidase of vascular and placental trophoblastic tissues and appears to modulate the functional expression of type-2 purinergic (P2) Gprotein coupled receptors (GPCRs).

The potential of P2X7 receptors as a therapeutic target, including inflammation and tumour progression [PDF]

, 2018
Seven P2X ion channel nucleotide receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterised. P2X7 receptors (P2X7R) are unusual in that there are extra amino acids in the intracellular C terminus.
