This study investigates the role of urothelial PIEZO channels in urinary function and finds that their deletion does not alter urinary behavior, suggesting PIEZO1 may influence reflexes outside the bladder.

This study identifies maladaptive Piezo1 mechanotransduction as a driver of smooth muscle aging in the gut, showing it impairs contractility and contributes to gastrointestinal dysfunction.

This study identifies PIEZO1-mediated mechanosensation as a mechanism linking aging to bladder dysfunction and proposes dietary intervention as a non-invasive strategy.
