Description
Yong Tang and co-authors wrote this 2024 editorial opening a research collection on purinergic signalling in the brain. That signalling uses ATP, the cell's energy coin, as a message between cells once it escapes outside them. A web of receptors and enzymes handles the message and its breakdown products. Faults in the web are tied to brain and mental illnesses.
The collection honors the eightieth birthday of Peter Illes, a founder of purine research clubs in Germany and China. The editorial explains the three receptor families that read ATP, its kin, or its breakdown product adenosine. It then frames why drugs aimed at this network matter for neurology and psychiatry. Contributions from Illes's worldwide network fill the collection that follows.
