Abstract excerpt
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is a pivotal regulator of calcium homeostasis, with its pleiotropic functions being increasingly elucidated across diverse physiological systems. Emerging evidence now underscores its indispensable role within the skeletal system, where it transduces multifaceted stimuli-notably mechanical loading and osmotic stress-into precise calcium signals that...
