Development of science relies on the cooperation of creative minds to introduce new paradigms. Geoffrey Burnstock, a heterodox thinker, has been a pioneer in purinergic signalling since 1972, advancing neuroscience in understanding organ and tissue functioning. His support and encouragement have played a significant role in the exploration and establishment of the extracellular roles of diadenosine polyphosphates.
Development of science needs the cooperation of many creative brains. Sometimes, ideas on a specific area get suddenly exhausted and then it is the time for a privileged mind to think in a different way and reach the turning point to introduce a new paradigm. This happened to Geoffrey Burnstock, a heterodox thinker and nonconformist scientist that has been the paladin of purinergic signalling since 1972, opening neuroscience to the understanding of organs and tissues functioning and development of a new pharmacology. This review summarizes the contribution of our group to the understanding of the role of the diadenosine polyphosphates, Ap(n)A, as signalling molecules, describing their tissue and organ distribution, their transport and storage in secretory vesicles and their release and interaction with purinergic receptors. We also have to acknowledge the friendly and kindly support of Professor Burnstock that showed a great interest in the field from our initial findings and actively stimulated our efforts to establish the extracellular roles and biological significance of these dinucleotides.
