Hedgehog signaling is required for endomesodermal patterning and germ cell development in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis.

abstract：:Mechanical force is a determinant of Notch signalling but the mechanism of force detection and its coupling to Notch are unclear. We propose a role for Piezo1 channels, which are mechanically-activated non-selective cation channels. In cultured microvascular endothelial cells, Piezo1 channel activation by either shear...
