Assessment of Extracellular ATP Concentrations
Most cells release ATP to the extracellular milieu. Extracellular ATP plays important signaling roles by activating a score of broadly distributed cell surface purinergic receptors (purinoceptors). Biological ...

G-protein-coupled receptors as targets for gene transfer vectors using natural small-molecule ligands
Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) has focused on correcting electrolyte transport in airway epithelia. However, success has been limited by the failure of vectors to attach and enter into airway epithelia,...

Pharmacological Selectivities of Molecularly Defined Subtypes of P2Y Receptors
Burnstock and Kennedy (1985) proposed the first formal subtype expansion past the P2-purinoceptor concept originated by Burnstock (1978). The idea that a subset of P2X and P2Y receptors could account for the p...
