Mexican, ex-Berliner, now in California. Postdoc in the Patapoutian lab at the Scripps Research Institute. studying mechanotransduction

San Diego, CA
So happy to share our work studying the role of Piezo2 in the gut. We found that this mechano sensor is necessary to keep a proper gut transit, not too fast, not too slow! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

What proteins surround PIEZO1 on the cell surface? We used a mass spec proteomic approach to capture a snapshot of the PIEZO1 interactome. One of these candidates, CADM1/SynCAM, slows the inactivation kinetics of PIEZO1 with little effect on PIEZO2. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
