Insulin facilitates entry of calcium ions into human and murine erythrocytes via Piezo1: a newly identified mechanism with implications for type 2 diabetes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Despite being enucleated, mammalian red blood cells (RBCs) possess complex signaling mechanisms. Here, we show that insulin signals through the mechanosensitive channel Piezo1 to promote influx of calcium ions. This newly identified pathway is disrupted in a murine model of type 2 diabetes and may contribute to driving circulatory deficits in prevalent
