In the past decades, there has been a surge in the appre-ciation of ambient mechanical pressures in tissues and cells that direct cellular behaviors by stimulating distinct pathways animated by sophisticated mechanosensory machinery. In this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, Xie et al1 investigated the role of the mechanosensory ion channel Piezo-1 in regulating the angiogenic response of macrophages following hindlimb ischemia. Piezo-1 is a membrane protein that belongs to a class of mechanosensitive ion channels and is activated by cell membrane stretch or extracellular stiffness usually leading to increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels. 2 Here, the authors demonstrate that the gastrocnemius muscle undergoes dynamic mechanical overload following hindlimb ischemia. This coincided with an elevated and sustained expression of Piezo-1 by macrophages that accumulated in the ischemic muscle.
