Recursive feedback between Piezo1 conformation and membrane mechanics drives self-organization into finite clusters
Piezo1 is a major mechanosensitive ion channel through which cells convert physical force into calcium-dependent signaling programs. In living membranes, this conversion depends not only on channel activation, but also on whether Piezo1 channels remain dispersed, assemble into finite clusters, or concentrate at sites where receptor signaling and mechanical forces reorganize the membrane. How…
