11 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms of lung injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are not well understood.Piezo1 was recently identified as a mechanotransduction protein. The present study found the expression of Piezo1 in type II pneumocytes and investigated its role in mediating ARDS-related lung injury.
