We found that PIEZO2 also mediates urinary reflexes and the sensation of bladder fullness in mice and humans. Both PIEZO2 and the related protein PIEZO1 are essential for blood pressure control. It is likely these ion channels play many other important roles in mechanical interoception. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608aefddd434c56c41acc63e/1626223278078-YJFVBRO8F6Z2FTD9J5DX/urethra_bonsai_cyan.jpg Home - FUTURE WORK This field is a frontier – so much is still unknown! How does your gastrointestinal tract tell your brain that you are full? What causes internal organ pain? How do these internal cues affect behavior and physiology? There is plenty to explore. https://www.themarshalllab.com/research daily 0.75 2021-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608aefddd434c56c41acc63e/1619720011913-A1GRRPSXMSHMRVDFOYZI/cultured+DRG.jpg Research https://www.themarshalllab.com/people daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608aefddd434c56c41acc63e/1620087151108-77ZP2BB44EHC82F94CQY/KaraMarshall.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608aefddd434c56c41acc63e/5156a6fc-1559-46c2-b970-f7ec2f7bd414/Max+photo.JPG People Max Odem, Ph.D. - Senior Scientist Off-topic science interests: Marine biology and invertebrates.
