- PIEZO1 is a membrane protein that forms trimeric, calcium-permeable channels, playing key roles in sensing mechanical forces across various cell types, including blood and stem cells, as well as tissues like bone and muscle.
- This channel is being explored as a therapeutic target for a wide range of disorders, including cancers and cardiovascular issues, but research on its modulators is still in early stages.
- Preliminary studies on small molecule agonists like the Yoda series show promise for developing new treatments and suggest potential for selective modulation of PIEZO1 to minimize side effects.
