In @ScienceAdvances: Findings from Rockefeller's #MacKinnonLab suggest that Piezo1 ion channels are activated by a specific membrane-derived cofactor that complements mechanical force. These channels help cells respond rapidly to mechanical cues. bit.ly/4gg9l4t

A new paper from the #MacKinnonLab in @PNASNews finds that while Kv2.1 and EAG1 are from distinct architectural classes of voltage-dependent ion channels, the way the voltage sensors gate their pores is very similar. #RockefellerScience

A new study from the #MacKinnonLab finds that many membrane proteins self-assemble into higher-order transient structures. These structures can explain a dynamic connectivity of components in membrane signaling pathways.
