Scheme 1 — The diagram of PTMB binding to the cells and the enhanced calcium influx by US stimulation. PTMB was incubated with nerve cells, resulting in the binding of Piezo1-MBs to the Piezo1 channel. Before US stimulation, extracellular calcium concentration is higher than intracellular calcium concentration and the Piezo1 channel to which PTMB attached via receptor-ligand binding on the cell membrane is closed. US stimulation lead to the opening of Piezo1 channel, followed by extracellular calcium flowing into the cells.
