TLDR
The enzymatic activities of CD39 and CD73 play strategic roles in calibrating the duration, magnitude, and chemical nature of purinergic signals delivered to immune cells through the conversion of ADP/ATP to AMP and AMP to adenosine, suggesting these ectoenzymes are novel therapeutic targets for managing a variety of disorders.

Construction of Antithrombotic Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel via Reduced Graphene Oxide Based Dual-Enzyme Biomimetic Cascade

TL;DR: Inspired by the phenomenon that endothelial cells continuously generate endogenous antiplatelet substances via enzymatic reactions, a reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based dual-enzyme biomimetic cascade is designed to successively convert ADP into adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and AMP intoadenosine.

Microvesicles expressing adenosinergic ectoenzymes and their potential role in modulating bone marrow infiltration by neuroblastoma cells.

TL;DR: Etononucleotidases are present and functional on NB cells, as well as in NB-infiltrated BM and in MV derived from BM, and it is reasonable that MV are involved in BM infiltration by NB cells.

Phenotypical analysis of ectoenzymes CD39/CD73 and adenosine receptor 2A in CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ regulatory T-cells in psoriasis

TL;DR: The frequencies and phenotypes of CD39/CD73‐expressing Tregs and related receptor adenosine receptor 2A (A2AR) in peripheral blood of patients with different types of psoriasis are examined.

Crystal structure of NTPDase2 in complex with the sulfoanthraquinone inhibitor PSB-071.

TL;DR: Structural insight into NTPDase inhibition is presented and the observation of the putative membrane interaction loop (MIL) in two different conformations related by a 10° rotation identifies the MIL as a dynamic section of NTPDases that is potentially involved in regulation of catalysis.

Definition, diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Part 1: diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus provisional report of a WHO consultation.

TL;DR: A WHO Consultation has taken place in parallel with a report by an American Diabetes Association Expert Committee to re‐examine diagnostic criteria and classification of diabetes mellitus and is hoped that the new classification will allow better classification of individuals and lead to fewer therapeutic misjudgements.

How regulatory T cells work.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that effector T cells may not be 'innocent' parties in this suppressive process and might in fact potentiate TReg-cell function is proposed.

Adenosine generation catalyzed by CD39 and CD73 expressed on regulatory T cells mediates immune suppression

TL;DR: It is concluded that CD39 and CD73 are surface markers of T reg cells that impart a specific biochemical signature characterized by adenosine generation that has functional relevance for cellular immunoregulation.

Expression of ectonucleotidase CD39 by Foxp3+ Treg cells: hydrolysis of extracellular ATP and immune suppression

TL;DR: In humans CD39 is a marker of a Treg subset likely involved in the control of the inflammatory autoimmune disease and Notably, patients with the remitting/relapsing form of multiple sclerosis have strikingly reduced numbers of CD39(+) Treg cells in the blood.

International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXXI. Nomenclature and Classification of Adenosine Receptors—An Update

TL;DR: In the 10 years since the previous International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology report on the nomenclature and classification of adenosine receptors, no developments have led to major changes in the recommendations, but there have been so many other developments that an update is needed.
