In vitro fusion of single synaptic and dense core vesicles reproduces key physiological properties

Regulated exocytosis of neuronal synaptic vesicles is substantially faster than that of endocrine dense core vesicles despite similar molecular machineries. Here authors compare SNARE-mediated fusion of purified synaptic vesicles with insulin vesicles and see disparities in calcium-triggered fusion...
