Neurosensory mechanotransduction

Neurosensory mechanotransduction is rapid, which suggests that it requires the direct gating of transducing channels, rather than activation through chemical intermediates. Candidate mechanosensory ...

Direct Binding of Lyn to GPIbβ Transmits Two-Way GPIb-IX Signaling to Stimulate Platelet Activation and VWF Binding

In high shear rate blood flow, thrombosis often starts with platelet adhesion via the interaction between VWF (von Willebrand factor) and its platelet receptor, the GPIb-IX (glycoprotein Ib-IX) ...
