January 2024 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This review article addresses how the TRPV4 ion channel helps cells respond to mechanical and environmental stimuli, discussing its role in calcium signaling crucial for tissue repair and fibrosis across various organ systems, and highlighting potential therapeutic targets from animal and disease models.
In this study, calcium imaging in transgenic mice revealed that non-neuronal TRPV4 in the skin enhances afferent signaling during electrical stimulation, suggesting a role for neuroimmune interaction in acupuncture signal initiation.
