The mechanosensitive Ca2+-permeable ion channel PIEZO1 promotes satellite cell function in skeletal muscle regeneration

K. Hirano, M. Tsuchiya, S. Takabayashi, K. Nagao, Y. Kitajima, Y. Ono, K. Nonomura, Y. Mori, M. Umeda, Y. Hara

This study shows that PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, promotes satellite cell function and skeletal muscle regeneration by mediating calcium influx and RhoA-mediated actomyosin formation.

Role of the N- and C-terminal regions of FliF, the MS ring component in Vibrio flagellar basal body

S. Kojima, H. Kajino, K. Hirano, Y. Inoue, H. Terashima, M. Homma

This study investigates the roles of N- and C-terminal regions of FliF in Vibrio flagellar MS ring formation and function, finding that the N-terminus aids in ring formation via FlhF interaction while the C-terminus is essential for motor function.
