We demonstrate that there are two experimentally distinguishable steps in the fusion of
phospholipid vesicles with planar bilayer membranes. In the first step, the vesicles form a …

Fusion of multilamellar phospholipid vesicles with planar phospholipid bilayer membranes
was monitored by the rate of appearance in the planar membrane of an intrinsic membrane …

For the act of membrane fusion, there are two competing, mutually exclusive molecular
models that differ in the structure of the initial pore, the pathway for ionic continuity between …

sonicated phosphati-dylserine small unilamellar vesicles (PS SUV) induced by the divalent …

Stimulation of gastric parietal cells results in exocytic recruitment of the proton pump (H+, K+-
ATPase) from a pool of intracellular membranes (tubulovesicles) to the apical plasma …

In order for either lipid bilayer membranes or biological membranes to undergo fusion,
stresses must somehow be generated in the region of membrane contact. In the fusion of …

Exocytosis is considered as four separate steps: adhesion, fusion/pore formation, pore
widening, and content discharge. Experiments on both synthetic and natural membranes are …

This article presents information on classical model of exocytosis, also known as" total
fusion" which predicts the complete incorporation of the vesicle membrane into the plasma …

Multilamellar phospholipid vesicles are introduced into the cis compartment on one side of a
planar phospholipid bilayer membrane. The vesicles contain a water-soluble fluorescent …
