Hypoglycosylation lowers the mechanical activation threshold of Piezo1 and enhances cortical neuronal mechanotransduction: implications for PMM2-CDG

These findings establish glycosylation-mechanics coupling as a determinant of neuronal force sensing and suggest that, by facilitating Piezo1 recruitment, defective glycosylation may increase cortical vulnerability to mechanical stress, potentially contributing to head trauma-triggered neurological episodes in phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG).
