摘要: Mechanotransduction — a cell's conversion of mechanical stimulus into an electrical signal reveals vital features organism's environment. From hair cells and skin mechanoreceptors in vertebrates, to bristle receptors flies touch worms, mechanically sensitive are essential the life organism. The scarcity these uniqueness their transduction mechanisms have conspired slow molecular characterization ensembles that carry out mechanotransduction. But recent progress both invertebrates vertebrates is beginning reveal identities proteins for transduction.
