DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-64185-5
Abstract: Mechanosensitive ion channels such as Piezo1 have fundamental roles in sensing the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. However, whether and how Piezo1 senses time-dependent matrix mechanical properties, that is, viscoelasticity, remains unknown. To address… read more here.
