A novel mechanosensitive channel controls osmoregulation, differentiation, and infectivity in Trypanosoma cruzi
The causative agent of Chagas disease undergoes drastic morphological and biochemical modifications as it passes between hosts and transitions from extracellular to intracellular stages. The osmotic and mechanical aspects of these cellular transformations are not understood. Here we identify and cha...
