Functional conservation and species-specific tuning of PIEZO1 mechanotransduction in birds and humans
Birds experience distinct mechanical environments and performance demands, yet how mechanotransduction mechanisms are conserved and quantitatively tuned in avian species remains poorly understood. PIEZO1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel that mediates diverse physiological processes in mammals; however, its functi...
