The mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 is expressed in tendons and regulates physical performance
1 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
How mechanical stress affects physical performance via tendons is not fully understood. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel, and E756del PIEZO1 was recently found as a gain-of-function variant that is common in individuals of African descent. We generated tendon-specific knock-in mice using R2482H Piezo1 , a mouse gain-of-function variant, and found that they had higher jumping abilities and faster running...
