Abstract
A recent study shows that, upon stretching or wounding, epithelia display a fast proliferative response that allows for re-establishment of optimal cell density or sealing of the wound. This increased proliferation is induced by the stretch-activated channel Piezo1 and involves calcium-triggered ERK signalling.
