PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

The synovium‐on‐a‐chip (SOC) model establishes a 3D flow‐based co‐culture of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLSs) with M1 macrophages and endothelial cells on a microfluidic chip. This model better recapitulates the inflammatory microenvironment of RA synovium and the invasive/proliferative properties of RA FLSs in vivo ...

Mechanotransduction in Shaping Immunity: Pathways, Crosstalk, and Pathophysiological Relevance
This review comprehensively summarizes the role of mechanotransduction in shaping immunity. It details how immune cells respond to biomechanical cues via mechanotransduction cascades and emphasizes the mechanical crosstalks within the immune microenvironment. The emerging significance of mechanoimmunology in both health and diseases is also highlighted.

This study identifies that HOXA1 facilitates transcriptional activity of PITX2 in liquid condensates, resulting in up‐regulation of MCOLN1 and RAB3A followed by lysosomal exocytosis of LGALS1 and IGFBP7 from senescent cells, thus activating AKT signaling and EMT.

Mechanical Stress Triggers Premature Senescence in Cardiac Fibroblasts
Cellular senescence contributes to disease burden in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and aging, highlighting the need to understand its induction. In primary cardiac fibroblasts, reduced strain and increased frequency, mimicking CVD, elicit a distinct senescent phenotype compared to oxidative stress.
