Membrane fusion--in the widest sense of the word--is a widely observed phenomenon in
nature. Membrane fusion is involved in secretion, in pinocytosis, in the formation of …

An intact organelle, the prostasome, is secreted by the acinar epithelial cell of the human
prostate gland. The ultrastructural location of the prostasome is within membrane-bound …

The sequence of structural changes that occur during synaptic vesicle exocytosis was
studied by quick-freezing muscles at different intervals after stimulating their nerves, in the …

Mast cells undergo an extensive and violent morphological transformation on stimulation1.
Here we describe the dynamics of fusion of the secretory granules in individual mast cells …

We have isolated from the adrenal medulla a protein which causes the aggregation of
isolated chromaffin granules when incubated in the presence of free calcium at …

The parasympathetic control of goblet cell secretion and the membrane events
accompanying accelerated mucus release were studied in large intestinal mucosal biopsies …

The acid exoglycosidases β-hexosaminidase and β-glucuronidase are present in rat serosal
mast cells at concentrations of 1.2±0.5 units and 0.24±0.11 units/106 cells, respectively, and …

The venom apparatus in social insects from the genus Apis is an essential part of the
mechanism of defence of the colony. Stinging behaviour is usually displayed in the vicinity of …
