PIEZO channels sense force. Yesterday Dr @charlesdcox.bsky.social @victorchang.edu.au showed us exactly what happens next, and it's more connected to cardiovascular disease than anyone expected. Excellent seminar!

Looking for a cell line that natively expresses PIEZO2 - we’d say avoid MCC13. Unlike Merkel cells the native mechanically-evoked currents in this line are largely carried by PIEZO1. And like many other cell lines that we’ve tested the slow components come from MDFIC/MDFI tinyurl.com/3mmnwhpp

Understanding the molecular components of mechanically evoked currents in the Merkel cell line MCC13

Merkel cells are epithelial cells involved in the discrimination of light touch. Situated in the skin, these specialised cells decode mechanical cues through the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO2. M...
