Bone adapt s to mechanical loads through actions of bone cells: osteoclasts that spec ialize in bone resorption\; osteoblasts that produce bone\; and osteocytes embedded in bone matrix that sense mechanical forces and coordinate bone adaptation. ATP is a ubiquitous intracellular molecule critical for cellul ar bioenergetics\, which is also one of the first signals released from bo ne cells that experience mechanical stimulation. Extracellular ATP is degr aded by ecto-ATPases to form ADP and eventually adenosine. I will discuss our studies investigating how spatiotemporal signals provided by extracell ular ATP and ADP may encode the information regarding severity\, scale and proximity of the mechanical stimulus\, allowing for a well-choreographed tissue responses to physical forces.\n\nThis seminar will take place in-pe rson and online (details in attached poster below). All are welcome!\n DTSTART:20231027T150000Z DTEND:20231027T150000Z LOCATION:Room 1034\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1 Y6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:Physiology Seminar: Dr. Svetlana Komarova 'The role of extracellula r ATP and its derivatives in responses of bone cells to physical forces' ' URL:/physiology/channels/event/physiology-seminar-dr-s vetlana-komarova-role-extracellular-atp-and-its-derivatives-responses-bone -351559 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
