Abstract excerpt
Background: Purinergic P2X receptors (P2RX) play key roles in neuroinflammatory processes through ATP-gated ion channel signaling. Dysregulation of P2RX receptor activity has been implicated in maternal immune activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and synaptic abnormalities associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite increasing mechanistic evidence, the contribution of P2RX gene...
