The secretion of synaptic and other vesicles is a complex process involving multiple steps. Many molecular components of the secretory apparatus have been identified, but how they relate to the ...
Betz and colleagues find that dopamine triggers release of the dense core of secretory granules with prolactin during exocytosis. The dense core can contain signaling proteins, implying that both the ...
This diagram depicts both exocytosis (left) and endocytosis (right). On top is a nerve cell that is sending a chemical nerve signal to the nerve cell on the bottom. Within the top nerve cell, vesicles ...
