Environmental stiffness regulates neuronal
maturation via Piezo1-mediated transthyretin activity.

My main postdoc paper is finally online!

Thanks to all the co-authors, the entire Franze lab and the Káradóttir lab.

Environmental stiffness regulates neuronal maturation via Piezo1-mediated transthyretin activity - Nature Communications
How the environment regulates neuronal maturation during brain development is poorly understood. Here, Kreysing et al. identify brain stiffness as a key factor and determine a mechanotransduction path...
