Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purinergic system plays a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes, including neurotransmission, inflammation, pain, and immune response. In recent years, significant advances have expanded our understanding of the functions and mechanisms of purinergic receptors and their implications in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. This Special Issue aims to gather research articles and reviews that explore new discoveries and therapeutic approaches related to the Purinergic System. We welcome studies on the identification of novel ligands, the development of new drugs, as well as investigations into the modulation of purinergic receptors in pathological contexts. This thematic Special Issue seeks to highlight the most recent scientific contributions that may open new avenues for disease treatment and provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the field of purinergic signaling.
