Exocytosis Methods examinines functions ranging from protein secretion to hormone release and neurotransmission. The book begins with a section covering a range of techniques being applied to the study of single-vesicle fusion events, which are key in order to gain insight into the final steps of vesicle fusion. The volume continues with several model systems that are being employed to unravel the complexities of exocytosis. Exocytosis Methods was written for the Neuromethods series and promotes new methods in microscopy and the development of new preparations.
