Purinergic control of neutrophil activation / F.M. Grassi. - In: JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR CELL BIOLOGY. - ISSN 1674-2788. - 2:4(2010), pp. 176-177. [10.1093/jmcb/mjq014]
Abstract:
Neutrophils constitute the first line of defense against invading pathogens, but they also are responsible for tissue destruction in pathological conditions. In a recent paper published in Science Signaling, Junger and colleagues show that adenosine 5'-triphosphate release and signaling through purinergic P2 receptors upon neutrophil activation by bacterial and inflammatory stimuli represents an important mechanism for effective neutrophil functional response and host protection.
