Serotonin production by enterochromaffin cells (ECs) is microbiota-dependent, but the mechanism of this is unknown. In this issue of Cell, Sugisawa et al. demonstrate that Piezo1 in ECs senses single-strand RNA (ssRNA) from intestinal microbiota to promote serotonin production. Deletion of Piezo1 in intestinal epithelium promotes bone formation, decreases peristalsis, and protects from colitis because of decreased serotonin.
