Regulation of Piezo1 channels and its impact on cell division

This project has aimed to investigate the regulation of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 by proteins that sense and modify membrane curvature. Our second objective has been to study this interplay in the context of forces occurring during cytokinetic abscission. In this context, we have disco...

Sumario:This project has aimed to investigate the regulation of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 by proteins that sense and modify membrane curvature. Our second objective has been to study this interplay in the context of forces occurring during cytokinetic abscission. In this context, we have discovered that the Piezo1 channel is regulated during cell division to integrate biochemical and physical cues, orchestrating the recruitment of the abscission machinery and mediating vesicle trafficking to the midbody
