TLR4 signalling via Piezo1 engages and enhances the macrophage mediated host response during bacterial infection

Innate immune cells respond to a number of environmental cues including TLR signalling. Here the authors implicate mechanical sensor Piezo1 in the TLR4 mediated host response to bacterial infection and implicate it in the enhancement of macrophage mediated host response.
