PIEZO-dependent mechanosensing is essential for intestinal stem cell fate decision and maintenance
Stem cells perceive and respond to biochemical and physical signals to maintain homeostasis. Yet, it remains unclear how stem cells sense mechanical signals from their niche in vivo. In this work, we ...
