NUS researchers have built a molecular “leash” to pull directly on a force-sensing protein called Piezo1, and discovered it switches on at about 15 piconewtons, proving that it can be activated by physical tethers, not only by membrane deformation.

🆕📢 We are excited to present the first multi-matrix study of MP in Singapore’s coral reefs.
Our low detected levels show that urban reefs aren’t always MP hotspots! 🪸✨
