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...
