Piezo1 senses mechanical loads in osteocytes, osteoblasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), converting them into Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    -dependent signals that activate key pathways, including CaMKII, YAP\/TAZ, Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin, and ERK. These cascades collectively promote osteoblast differentiation and suppress osteoclastogenesis via OPG\/RANKL modulation. Age-related Piezo1 decline impairs bone mechanoresponsiveness, driving both senile and disuse osteoporosis. Piezo1 also integrates bone metabolism with vascular\u2013immune interactions (e.g., promoting VEGFA release from bone marrow macrophages via the CaN\/NFAT\/HIF-1\u03b1 pathway) and the gut\u2013bone axis (e.g., intestinal Piezo1 deletion relieves osteoblast proliferation inhibition by reducing serotonin levels). Therapeutically, Piezo1 agonists restore bone mass in osteoporosis models by reactivating mechanotransduction, while physical interventions achieve similar effects. Outstanding challenges include optimizing mechanical parameters (e.g., vibration frequency, ultrasound intensity) for individualized therapy, disentangling pathway crosstalk under aging and inflammation, and developing bone-targeted delivery systems for Piezo1 modulators. Overall, Piezo1 emerges as a pivotal therapeutic target for osteoporosis.\n
