Happy to share our latest work on Piezo: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A @pnas.org study from the MacKinnon lab finds that proteins contact each other in a variety of ways to form self-clusters, highlighting the diversity of chemical interactions nature uses in the formation of protein assemblies in cell membranes.

Our ability to send electrical signals rapidly to distant parts of the body depends on membrane proteins called voltage-dependent ion channels. These channels have voltage sensing domains that sense the voltage difference across the cell membrane and open or close the channel accordingly.
