Smooth muscle cell Piezo1 depletion results in impaired contractile properties in murine small bowel

Abstract Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel expressed in intestinal muscularis cells (IMCs), including smooth muscle cells (SMCs), interstitial cells of Cajal, and Pdgfrα+ cells, which form the SIP syncytium, crucial for GI contractility. Here, we investigate the effects of SMC-specific Pie...
