Simposium 16: ROLE OF PURINES IN GLIAL CELL, PROLIFERATION, MATURATION AND CELL-TO-CELL COMMUNICATION IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Chairs : Felicita Pedata (Florence, Italy) / Ana Sebastião (Lisboa, Portugal) Content : This Symposium will integrate rapidly emerging information about the role of purinergic receptors expressed on astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia as well as evidence for ATP-induced extracellular vesicles from glial cells. We will highlight the latest knowledge about the involvement of ATP and adenosine receptors in neuron–glia signalling, their functional significance under physiological and pathological conditions.
