Structural mechanism for gating of a eukaryotic mechanosensitive channel of small conductance

Mechanosensitive channels transduce physical force into electrochemical signaling in processes such as hearing, touch, proprioception, osmoregulation, and morphogenesis. Here, authors use cryo-electron microscopy to provide structural insights into the mechanical gating mechanism.
