Using cryo-electron tomography, the team was able to visualize synaptic vesicles (SVs) in 3D and confirm a potentially important protein-protein interaction. They also broadened our understanding ...
(3) This causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the terminal membrane, releasing neurotransmitter into the gap between neurons, known as the synaptic cleft. (4) The neurotransmitters bind to ...
and are developing novel assays to image the release of synaptic vesicles in intact blood vessels. mitochondrial DNA and smooth muscle physiology High blood pressure is a major risk factor for ...
Vesicles, Söllner explains, are the primary mediators of "the transfer of cargo between different compartments in eukaryotic cells. For example, in the secretory pathway, proteins are transported from ...
Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ... the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again.
