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

Structural glycomics (SG) plays a fundamental part of concurrent glycobiology aiming at
comprehensive elucidation of glycan functions (ie, functional glycomics) in the context of …

A simple input–output formalism based on the Lorentz reciprocity theorem is presented for
the study of a classical radiating dipole near a lossless interface. The problems of dipole …

Needle‐type voltammetric ultramicroelectrodes show exceptional sensitivity for the detection
of redox‐active substances, rapid response times, and total tip diameters in the lower …

Monitoring the fusion of constitutive traffic with the plasma membrane has remained largely
elusive. Ideally, fusion would be monitored with high spatial and temporal resolution …

Quantitative time-lapse evanescent-wave imaging of individual fluorescently labelled
chromaffin granules was used for kinetic analysis of granule trafficking through a∼ 300-nm …

We have investigated sequential exocytosis in β cells of intact pancreatic islets with the use
of two-photon excitation imaging of a polar fluorescent tracer, sulforhodamine B, and a …

This article reviews the current state of research on the use of molecular contrast agents in
optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging techniques. After a brief discussion of the …

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has gained popularity in recent
years among cell biologists due to its ability to clearly visualize events that occur at the …

Plasmonic scattering from metal nanostructures presents a promising concept for improving
the conversion efficiency of solar cells. The determination of optimal nanostructures and …
