Activation of Piezo1 by ultrasonic stimulation and its effect on the permeability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells

The acoustic radiation forces produced by ultrasonic stimulation induce shear stress on objects in the acoustic field. Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel protein that is expressed on the plasma membranes of vertebrate cells, can sense shear stress and transduce it into downstream signaling. In t...
