The paper identifies Gardos as an amplifier of PIEZO1-TMEM16F signaling in red blood cells, enhancing Ca2+ entry and PS externalization, and suggests it as a therapeutic target for diseases like sickle cell disease.

This paper shows that cannabidiol inhibits PIEZO channels in red blood cells, reducing calcium overload and related pathologies in hereditary xerocytosis and sickle cell disease.

This study identifies PF4 as a central factor in APS by showing it bridges {beta}2GPI to NETs, forming prothrombotic complexes that are targeted by APS antibodies.

This paper identifies PIEZO1-TMEM16F coupling as a mechanism driving phosphatidylserine exposure in sickle red blood cells and proposes targeting this pathway to reduce disease complications.
