Targeting the PIEZO1 pathway boosts T cell antitumour cytotoxicity

Nature Biomedical Engineering volume 8, pages 1071–1072 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

The mechanical sensor PIEZO1 regulates the traction force that is critical for cytotoxic T cells to target tumour cells. This finding creates avenues for enhancing the efficacy of T cell-targeted immune therapies.
