… intracellular calcium leads to secretory vesicle fusion in less than a millisecond… Electrochemical
methods may be sensitive enough to detect catecholamines released from single vesicles…

… to answer two main questions: (i) what kind of driving force can induce vesicle fusion inside
the pores, and (ii) how can the quality of the bilayer in this porous material be monitored? …

… catecholamine content, whereas reserpine treatment decreases it when monitored by
electrochemical cytometry. Interestingly, the fraction of catecholamine released during exocytosis …

… of the most commonly used electrochemical methods for monitoring single-vesicle events, …
cytosol triggers synaptic vesicle fusion. Here, fusion of the synaptic vesicle membrane with the …

… Valuable information on the relationship between single-vesicle fusion and messenger
release and “kiss and run” exocytotic events have been well demonstrated by use of this method […

… membrane changes or, likely, vesicle-vesicle fusion (the latter leading to larger vesicle sizes).
In fact… In order to electrochemically monitor neurotransmitters, highly miniaturized, sensitive …

… Major developments in analytical methodology have made it possible to probe vesicle fusion
and neurotransmitter release in single live cells. A range of methods allow monitoring of the …
