Under Pressure: the role of PIEZO ion channels in interoception

Kara Marshall
Scripps Research
Mar 1, 2021

PIEZO ion channels detect force in cellular membranes. They are expressed in a wide variety of mammalian tissues, including the vasculature, lymphatic system, and the nervous system. We have found that PIEZO2 in sensory neurons is required for the mechanical senses of touch and proprioception, but our understanding of internal organ sensing, interoception, is far behind. I will describe our findings on the role of PIEZO ion channels in the lesser-known interoceptive senses in multiple organ systems.
