Abstract
Members of both the Piezo and transmembrane channel-like (TMC) families are bona fide mammalian mechanotransducers. In a recent study, Zhang, Shao et al. discovered that TMC7, a non-mechanosensitive TMC, inhibits Piezo2-dependent mechanosensation, with implications for the importance of cellular context for Piezo2 channels in normal and pathological responses to mechanical pain.
