## Abstract Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are the predominant oligodendrocyte‐lineage stage in the cerebral hemispheres of neonatal rat. Prior studies have shown that OPCs are highly vulnerable to hypoxic‐ischemic injury, yet the mechanisms are not well understood. P2X~7~ receptor (P2X~7~R
## Abstract A novel compound, __N__^6^‐(4‐hydroxybenzyl)adenosine, isolated from __Gastrodia elata__ and which has been shown to be a potential therapeutic agent for preventing and treating neurodegenerative disease, was found to target both the adenosine A~2A~ receptor (A~2A~R) and the equilibrati
Many, potentially all, inflammatory and immune cells express purinergic receptors of the P1 and P2 type. In recent years, availability of molecular probes and, in some cases, specific antibodies has initiated an investigation of their possible involvement in the inflammatory response. A very recent
