Endothelial Piezo1 channel mediates mechano-feedback control of brain blood flow - Nature Communications
On-demand blood flow increases are essential for brain health, but how flow recovers is unclear. Here, the authors show that brain perfusion triggers vascular Piezo1-mediated mechano-feedback that pro...
