Activation of Piezo1 or TRPV2 channels inhibits human ureteral contractions via NO release from the mucosa
We aimed to investigate the expression and motor modulatory roles of several mechano-sensitive channels (MSCs) in human ureter. Human proximal ureters were obtained from eighty patients subjected to nephrectomy. Expression of MSCs at mRNA, protein and functional levels were examined. Contractions of...
