However, in the last years, several studies demonstrated their involvement in cell signalling by the activation of specific membrane receptors (P1 and P2) and their role as neurotransmitters began to be investigated. The present work was aimed to clarify the effects of purinergic neurotransmission in different cell systems by using electrophysiological techniques. Relevant results of this research include the observation that P1 and P2 receptors play a deleterious role during "in vitro" ischemia in the rat brain, and the first demonstration of P2 receptor expression and function in a line of adult human mesenchymal stem cells. 410 0$aPremio Tesi di dottorato. 517 $aPurines as Transmitter Molecules 606 $aNeurotransmitter receptors 606 $aPurines 615 0$aNeurotransmitter receptors. 615 0$aPurines. 676 $a599.0188 700 $aCoppi$b Elisabetta$01261369 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910572193103321 996 $aPurines as transmitter molecules$92932646 997 $aUNINA
