Abstract
The sensations of sound, acceleration and touch are mediated by mechanotransduction channels, which convert mechanical stimuli into electrical responses. The structure of one such channel, NOMPC, was recently solved by cryo-EM, revealing a bundle of helices that may act as coiled springs to transmit the forces that open the channel.
