Piezo1 is a mechanically activated ion channel and mediates pressure induced pancreatitis

Manipulation of the pancreas during surgery can induce acute pancreatitis due to zymogen activation. Here the authors show that the mechanoreceptor Piezo1 is activated by pressure and its activation leads to calcium dependent pancreatic injury whereas its inhibition is protective against pancreatiti...
