PIEZO1 is critical in numerous physiological processes, but monitoring its activity and localization in cells can be challenging. Here, the authors present a chemogenetic platform to visualize endogenous human PIEZO1 localization and activity in native cellular conditions, expanding the knowledge on mechanotransduction across single cells and tissue organoids.
