Figure 1: Dual-color evanescent field imaging of individual vesicles and Ca 2+ microdomains. Figure 4: Factors determining the efficacy of a Ca 2+ microdomain for triggering release. Figure 6: ...
The rapid increase in type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence results from a combination of lifestyle factors and genetics. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified close to 50 loci associated ...
Endocytosis and exocytosis are the processes by which cells move materials into or out of the cell that are too large to directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Large molecules, ...
A study has identified a key activation mechanism that leads to vesicle fusion to the plasma membrane, a part of exocytosis. Every time a hormone is released from a cell, every time a neurotransmitter ...
Rapid plasma membrane resealing is essential for cellular survival. Earlier studies showed that plasma membrane repair requires Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes and a rapid form of endocytosis ...
Interactions of two voltage-gated calcium channels and a pump enable separate control of exocytosis and endocytosis at chemical synapses. Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous ...
