So it opens up a new dimension of signaling." The discovery of the existence and ubiquity of Piezo1 and other touch sensors was part of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and has ...

Researchers discovered that PIEZO1, a pressure-sensitive protein, regulates gut motility and immune responses. In mice, ...

After every meal, the intestines perform an action called peristalsis—moving food through their hollow interiors with ...

Scientists have identified a protein sensor in intestinal neurons that responds to pressure, inflammation to stimulate the ...

Image Caption: Heavy mechanical force (MF)-activated Piezo1 decelerates orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in vivo. The findings mark a significant step forward in orthodontic science, shedding ...

In experiments involving both animal models and in vitro studies, the authors found that blocking Piezo1 activity or enhancing STING signaling could restore osteoclast function and accelerate ...
