Attenborough doesn't just document nature. He helped change how we understand it. Thank you and happy Birthday, Sir Attenborough.

So much fun to have a chance to comment on the ground breaking work going on in #mechanobiology #guttouch #DGBI #mechanosensing
After sketching out how PIEZO channels contribute to touch and proprioception, scientists are now using the channels as a tool to study internal organs, including the heart, bladder, uterus and kidney.

🧠🌟 Excited by the new primer in @CurrentBiology on the Enteric Nervous System #ENS @DavidRLinden & @KeithASharkey. So much to learn 🤔about our “second brain” in the gut! 🌿🔬
and thanks for referencing our work 🙏 #ENS #Neurogastroenterology
