PIEZO channels link mechanical forces to uterine contractions in parturition

Yunxiao Zhang, Sejal A Kini, Sassan A Mishkanian…·Ardem Patapoutian

Deleting Piezo1 and Piezo2 together in mice weakens uterine contractions and prolongs labor; uterine and sensory-neuron deletions act additively, and knockout uteri show reduced Gja1 (connexin43).
