In this system, the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 is the sensor of compressive stress, and we suggest that it may be a useful biomarker to predict disease outcomes.Sarah has a more detailed narrative of our findings here: bsky.app/profile/drsa...
We are very excited to share our newest results, published in AAAS Science Advances: “Compressive stress-driven Piezo1 activation and Rho-ROCK mechanotransduction promote tumor progression via epigene...

Compressive force drives PIEZO1-RHO-ROCK mechanotransduction and establishes an epigenetic memory that promotes tumor progression.
