Crystal Structure of a Lipid G Protein–Coupled Receptor

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 fused to T4-lysozyme in complex with an antagonist sphingolipid mimic provides a detailed view of the molecular recognition and requirement for hydrophobic volume that activates S1P1, resulting in the modulation of immune and stromal cell responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Piezo1, a mechanically activated ion channel, is required for vascular development in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Piezo1 is activated by shear stress, the major type of mechanical force experienced by endothelial cells in response to blood flow, which suggests a potential role forPiezo1 in mechanotransduction in adult cardiovascular function and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial cells are central orchestrators of cytokine amplification during influenza virus infection

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that suppression of early innate immune responses through S1P1 signaling results in reduced mortality during infection with a human pathogenic strain of influenza virus, suggesting that diseases in which amplification of cytokine storm is a significant pathological component could be chemically tractable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Piezo1 links mechanical forces to red blood cell volume

TL;DR: It is shown that RBCs exhibit robust calcium entry in response to mechanical stretch and that this entry is dependent on Piezo1 expression, which plays an essential role in RBC volume homeostasis.
