To sustain high rates of transmitter release, synaptic terminals must rapidly re-supply vesicles to release sites and prime them for exocytosis. Here we describe imaging of single synaptic ...

Oocytes are long-lived cells that require specialized adaptations to maintain their fitness. This study shows that human ...

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show ...

Synaptic vesicle exocytosis articles from across Nature Portfolio Synaptic vesicle exocytosis is the biological process by which a synaptic vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane of the pre ...

In Vitro Experiments Showing Protection of Neurons under Disease Conditions Support Proteomics Biomarker Analysis from Phase 2 SEQUEL StudyPITTSBURGH, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cognition ...

By just sprinkling it on top and waiting 10 seconds, researchers can use this new fluorescent probe to clearly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells.

A liposome model of exocytosis has been used to examine the nanometer environment of the space between the electrode and the membrane. First, this has been used to test models of coulometric ...

Fabrication of carbon microelectrode arrays, with up to 15 electrodes in total tips as small as 10–50 μm, is presented. The support structures of microelectrodes were obtained by pulling multiple ...
