Mechanism and role of regulated cell death in tumor immunity and immunotherapy
Cancer Communications, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 1456-1495, November 2025.Abstract Cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought breakthroughs, but only about one‐third of cancer patients benefit from ICIs. In recent years, targeting non‐apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD) subtypes, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, cuproptosis, and pyroptosis, has emerged as a novel strategy in cancer therapy due to ...

Possible neuroprotective role of P2X2 in the retina of diabetic rats
Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2018 Background Purinergic receptors are expressed in different tissues including the retina. These receptors are involved in processes like cell growth, proliferation, activation and survival. ATP is the major activator of P2 receptors. In diabetes, there is

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.Both pharmacological blockade and genetic knockdown of astrocytic connexin43 channels in the preBötzinger complex induce a high‐frequency breathing pattern, thereby enhancing respiratory motor output. This effect is mediated by astrocytic activation and subsequent ATP release, which activates P2Y1 receptors on somatostatin‐expressing preBötzinger ...
