This study examines Ca2+ dynamics in muscle stem cells during regeneration, finding increased fluctuations in activated cells mediated by mechanosensitive ion channels.

The paper identifies TRPM8 as an ion channel regulated by phospholipid asymmetry and shows that cytoplasmic phosphatidylserine is required for its function.

This study develops a baculovirus-mediated method to express PIEZO1 in muscle satellite cells, restoring their proliferative capacity and enabling functional studies of large proteins.

This study shows that ether phospholipids modulate mechanosensory and thermosensory responses in Drosophila by affecting PIEZO and TRPA1 channels.

The paper develops a method to manipulate phospholipid headgroups and discovers their diverse biological effects across species.
