Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and strength, rendering people prone to osteoporotic fractures caused by low-energy forces. The primary treatment strategy for osteoporotic fractures is surgery...
The Merkel cell-neurite complex initiates the perception of touch and mediates Ap slowly adapting type I responses. Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with T-cell-mediated inflammation, whereas...
Mechanosensitive channels mediate touch,hearing,proprioception,and blood pressure regulation.Piezo proteins,including Piezo1 and Piezo2,represent a new class of mechanosensitive channels that have been reported to pla...
