Loss of Drosophila UBE3A phenocopies Piezo dysfunction and drives hyperphagic feeding in Drosophila [PDF]
FlyAngelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental delay, speech impairment, ataxia, epilepsy, and in some cases hyperphagic feeding behavior.

Conformational changes, excess area, and elasticity of the Piezo protein-membrane nanodome from coarse-grained and atomistic simulations [PDF]
eLifeThe mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo 1 and 2 induce a curved protein-membrane nanodome that flattens with increasing membrane tension γ. The tension-induced flattening of the nanodome is associated with Piezo activation and driven by the energy γΔA ...

The Effect of Piezoelectric (Piezo) Versus Classic Lateral Osteotomy on the Lacrimal Drainage System (LDS): A Retrospective, Single-Center, Controlled Study [PDF]
MedicinaBackground and Objectives: Lateral osteotomies in rhinoplasty run adjacent to the lacrimal drainage system (LDS), risking postoperative tearing. Piezoelectric (piezo) devices enable precise bone cuts that may reduce LDS trauma.

Drosophila mechanical nociceptors preferentially sense localized poking
eLife, 2022 Mechanical nociception is an evolutionarily conserved sensory process required for the survival of living organisms. Previous studies have revealed much about the neural circuits and sensory molecules in mechanical nociception, but the cellular ...

Piezo1 as a force-through-membrane sensor in red blood cells
eLife, 2022 Piezo1 is the stretch activated Ca2+ channel in red blood cells that mediates homeostatic volume control. Here, we study the organization of Piezo1 in red blood cells using a combination of super-resolution microscopy techniques and electron microscopy ...
