Abstract excerpt
Synovial joints respond to physical forces to maintain tissue homeostasis. Disruption of joint homeostasis results in the development of osteoarthritis (OA), a disease characterized by abnormal remodeling of joint tissues. PIEZO1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel in the joint directly regulated by mechanical stimulus. To test whether PIEZO1 is associated with OA susceptibility, we determined whether variants...
