The role of Drosophila Piezo in mechanical nociception
Transduction of mechanical stimuli by receptor neurons is essential for senses such as hearing, touch, and pain1–4. Ion channels play a role in neuronal mechanotransduction in invertebrates1; however, functional conservation of these ion channels in mammalian mechanotransduction is not observed. For...
