The mechanosensor Piezo1 rings the alarm on epithelial intruders

Recognition of invasive pathogens by the epithelium that is constantly exposed to microbial products remains incompletely understood. In a recent study, Tadala et al. demonstrated that the entry process of intracellular bacteria is itself a mechanical signal that is detected by the stretch-activated...

Zusammenfassung:Recognition of invasive pathogens by the epithelium that is constantly exposed to microbial products remains incompletely understood. In a recent study, Tadala et al. demonstrated that the entry process of intracellular bacteria is itself a mechanical signal that is detected by the stretch-activated channel Piezo1, which triggers innate immune signaling.
