In this brief review, we discuss the factors that modulate the quantum size and the kinetics of
exocytosis. We also discuss the determinants which motivate the type of exocytosis from the …

Parkinson's disease, the most common age-related movement disorder, is a progressive
neurodegenerative disease with unclear etiology. Better understanding of the underlying …

Carbon-fiber microelectrodes have proven to be an indispensable tool for monitoring
exocytosis events using amperometry. When positioned adjacent to a cell, a traditional …

The neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's
disease (PD) share some common molecular deficits including disruption of protein …

Large dense‐core vesicles (LDCVs) are larger in volume than synaptic vesicles, and are
filled with multiple neuropeptides, hormones, and neurotransmitters that participate in …

Chromogranin B (CgB, also known as CHGB) is abundantly expressed in dense core
secretory granules of multiple endocrine tissues and has been suggested to regulate …

The colligative properties of ATP and catecholamines demonstrated in vitro are thought to
