Piezo1 proteins are Na+ and Ca2+ permeable mechanosensitive ion channels. Expressed on endothelial cell membranes, where they sense the shear stress forces created by blood flow, Piezo1 channels are essential for vascular development. The functional significance of vascular Piezo1 channels in adult...
