The mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel is required for bone formation

eLife, 2019
Mechanical load of the skeleton system is essential for the development, growth, and maintenance of bone. However, the molecular mechanism by which mechanical stimuli are converted into osteogenesis and bone formation remains unclear. Here we report that
