My research is available on ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/37…



Lots of interesting things to follow; do other molecules bind as part of a mechanosensory complex and does PIEZO1 regulate transcription through MDFI/MDFIC? But for now, a huge thanks to all the contributors and supporters, especially Boris Martinac !









We used FluidFM and lifetime fluorescence microscopy (Flipper-TR) to investigate the coupling of force application and tension propagation. Thanks @CapitanioLab for helping with the Optical Tweezers, Boris Martinac for endless discussions, and everyone else for their contribution

A pervasive view is that TRP channels represent primary sensors of mechanical forces. Along with @PooleLab1 and Boris Martinac we reviewed the evidence supporting this in Trends in Biochemical Sciences cell.com/trends/biochem…
