A hydrophobic gate in the inner pore helix is the major determinant of inactivation in mechanosensitive Piezo channels

Piezo1 and Piezo2 belong to a family of mechanically-activated ion channels implicated in a wide range of physiological processes. Mechanical stimulation triggers Piezo channels to open, but their characteristic fast inactivation process results in rapid closure. Several disease-causing mutations in...
