Mechanical stretch disrupts calcium dynamics and redistributes Piezo1 in human astrocytes

Shahrzad Shiravi, Akash Chakka, Xi Xiao…·John D. Finan

This study uses a 2D stretch injury model to show that mechanical stretch disrupts calcium dynamics, mitochondrial function, and Piezo1 distribution in human astrocytes, with temporary effects at moderate injury severity.
