Perturbing purinergic signaling: A pathogen's guidebook to counteracting inflammatory responses

In this issue of the Biomedical Journal, we learn how bacteria and parasites alike counteract inflammatory signaling by manipulating purinergic signaling. We also focus on an original article shedding light on the role of an EpsteinâBarr virus encoded gene in metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma....

Description
Summary:In this issue of the Biomedical Journal, we learn how bacteria and parasites alike counteract inflammatory signaling by manipulating purinergic signaling. We also focus on an original article shedding light on the role of an EpsteinâBarr virus encoded gene in metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Finally, we learn about a possible link between Trichomonas vaginalis and recurrent urinary tract infection. Keywords: Purinergic signaling, ATP, Inflammation, EpsteinâBarr virus, Metastasis
