Core Tip	The multifaceted aspects of extracellular nucleotide metabolism (mainly ATP and ?-NAD) on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) surface has been addressed by basic researchers only recently, sometimes revealing unexpected pivotal roles for these molecules in specifying differentiation lineages and modulating MSC physiology and communication with other cells. This review discusses the roles of extracellular nucleotides, their receptors and ectoenzymes, and the relevance of their signaling network and MSC functions, and also focuses on the importance of this emerging area of interest for future MSC-based cell therapies.
