TL;DR: This work suggests that ecto-5’-NT promotes reduced tumor growth to reduce cell proliferation and vascularization, promote higher differentiation rates and initiate apoptosis, supposedly by accumulating adenosine, which then acts through A1Adenosine receptors.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of acute use of general anaesthetic with or without a surgical procedure, at postnatal day 14 (P14), on behavioural responses in the short-, medium- and long-term, evaluated in open field (OF) and elevated plus-maze (EPM) tests.

TL;DR: Evaluated the extracellular adenosine production from AMP in cardiomyocytes and also the effect of (T3) on activity and expression of the enzyme, CD73, to suggest this effect could promote an increase inAdenosine formation and, therefore, has an important modulatory role in the elicitation of responses that serve to restore the tissue oxygen supply-to-demand ratio back to normal.

TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided on the possible mechanisms underlying the toxicity induced by mercury, indicating that it is able to modulate P2X7R in zebrafish larvae.

TL;DR: The results suggest the participation of the purinergic system in glioma malignancy, which is shown not only by gliomas cell lineages, but also by primaryglioma cultures.
