Roles of mechanosensitive channel Piezo1/2 proteins in skeleton and other tissues
20 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Mechanotransduction is a fundamental ability that allows living organisms to receive and respond to physical signals from both the external and internal environments. The mechanotransduction process requires a range of special proteins termed mechanotransducers to convert mechanical forces into biochemical signals in cells. The Piezo proteins are mechanically activated nonselective cation channels and the largest...
