Mechanotransduction in the urothelium: ATP signalling and mechanoreceptors
The urothelium, which covers the inner surface of the bladder, is continuously exposed to a complex physical environment where it is stimulated by, and responds to, a wide range of mechanical cues. Mechanically activated ion channels endow the urothelium with functioning in the conversion of mechani...
