Synapse,” intended to contrast our grasp of presynaptic Angleson and Betz (1997) quite
recently reviewed in physiology with our understanding of postsynaptic detail techniques for …

Regulated exocytosis of secretory granules or dense-core granules has been examined in
many well-characterized cell types including neurons, neuroendocrine, endocrine, exocrine …

Measles virus continues to be a major killer of children, claiming roughly one million lives a
year. Measles virus infection causes profound immunosuppression, which makes measles …

Calcium-triggered fusion of synaptic vesicles and neurotransmitter release are fundamental
signalling steps in the central nervous system. It is generally assumed that fast transmitter …

The size of a pool of readily releasable vesicles at a giant brainstem synapse, the calyx of
Held, was probed with three independent approaches. Using simultaneous pre-and …

The chromogranins (chromogranin A and chromogranin B), secretogranins (secretogranin II
and secretogranin III), and additional related proteins (7B2, NESP55, proSAAS, and VGF) …

OBJECTIVE—To characterize the voltage-gated ion channels in human β-cells from
nondiabetic donors and their role in glucose-stimulated insulin release. RESEARCH …

Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter at chemical synapses, thus initiating the flow of
information in neural networks. To achieve this, vesicles undergo a dynamic cycle of fusion …

Short-term facilitation is a widely observed form of synaptic enhancement that is not well
understood. Although presynaptic calcium has long been implicated in this process, its role …

Activation of presynaptic receptors for a variety of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators
inhibits transmitter release at many synapses. Such presynaptic inhibition might serve as a …
