Molecular principles of Piezo1 activation by increased membrane tension

2019-10-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY PARAGRAPH</h4> Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive channel involved in many cellular functions and responsible for sensing shear-stress and pressure forces in cells1–3. Piezo1 plays a critical role in the circulatory system and tissue development. Mutations on Piezo1 are linked to human diseases such as lymphedema2,4 or hematological disorders such as hemolytic anaemia5 and resistance to malaria6. Hypotheses...
