Figure 5. Magnetic force affects mechanical activation.

Figure 5

(a) Representative current trace of BBS-2422 on stimulation by a −60 mm Hg pressure step and exponential fit functions (red) with time constants of activation (τ1), inactivation (τ2), and deactivation (τ3). (b) Time constants and averages of activation, inactivation, and deactivation obtained from individual experiments without magnetic field (blue) and on magnetic field (red) for wild-type Piezo1 (n=8 cells, 3 transfections) and construct BBS-2422 (n=17 cells, 7 transfections; *P<0.01, n.s., P>0.01, paired t-test). Error bars are s.e.m. for all panels. Scale bar, 30 μm.
