P2 purinergic receptor dysregulation in urologic disease
P2 purinergic receptors are involved in the normal function of the kidney, bladder, and prostate via signaling that occurs in response to extracellular nucleotides. Dysregulation of these receptors is common in pathological states and often associated with disease initiation, progression, or aggressiveness.

Purinergic signaling: Diverse effects and therapeutic potential in cancer
Regardless of improved biological insights and therapeutic advances, cancer is consuming multiple lives worldwide. Cancer is a complex disease with diverse cellular, metabolic, and physiological parameters as its hallmarks.

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.

Spatio-Temporal Diversity of Calcium Activity in Microglia. [PDF]
Ca2+ activity mostly occurs in microglial processes and stays localized. When it spreads, it often shows a directional bias and is constrained by branch points. Activity strongly relies on P2Y12 receptors and is shaped by neuronal activity. ABSTRACT Microglia, the brain's innate immune cells, possess complex, highly motile branched processes. These act

Purinergic signaling in the modulation of redox biology
Purinergic signaling is a cell communication pathway mediated by extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. Tri- and diphosphonucleotides are released in physiological and pathological circumstances activating purinergic type 2 receptors (P2 receptors ...

The adenosinergic machinery in cancer: In-tandem insights from basic mechanisms to therapy
Extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling has emerged as an increasingly important regulator of immune responses, including tumor immunity. eADO is mainly produced from extracellular ATP (eATP) hydrolysis.

Interaction of P2 purinergic receptors with cellular macromolecules [PDF]
Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y receptors interact with a number of macromolecules in the cell membrane which may contribute to their functional plasticity. P2X receptors are homomeric or heteromeric assemblies of three subunits. P2Y receptors may form oligomeric complexes either with the same or with other P2Y receptor types.
