DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2202269119
Abstract: Significance The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 plays many important physiological functions. This essential ion channel is selectively activated by a synthetic small molecule called Yoda1. Despite current efforts to develop Yoda1 analogs with potential clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0207309
Abstract: PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 are mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) important for cellular function and mutations in them lead to human disorders. We examined how functional heteromers form between subunits of PIEZO1 using the mutants E2117K, E2117D, and… read more here.
