Erythrocyte Function and Pathophysiology

This cluster of papers focuses on the role of mechanosensitive ion channels, particularly Piezo1 and Piezo2, in various physiological processes such as mechanotransduction, erythrocyte function, sensory neuron response, and erythropoiesis. It also explores the implications of these channels in diseases related to erythrocytes, sensory perception, and cellular mechanosensation.
