Syntaxin-binding protein STXBP5 inhibits endothelial exocytosis and promotes platelet secretion.
In humans, vWF levels predict the risk of myocardial infarction and thrombosis; however, the factors that influence vWF levels are not completely understood. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified syntaxin-binding protein 5 (STXBP5)

Mutual Mobile Membranes with Timers
A feature of current membrane systems is the fact that objects and membranes are persistent. However, this is not true in the real world. In fact, cells and intracellular proteins have a well-defined lifetime.

Activity-dependent release of Adenosine: a critical re-evaluation of mechanism [PDF]
Adenosine is perhaps the most important and universal modulator in the brain. The current consensus is that it is primarily produced in the extracellular space from the breakdown of previously released ATP.

Protein kinase A inhibition induces EPAC-dependent acrosomal exocytosis in human sperm
To interact with the egg, the spermatozoon must undergo several biochemical and motility modifications in the female reproductive tract, collectively called capacitation.

CAPS and Munc13 utilize distinct PIP2-linked mechanisms to promote vesicle exocytosis
PIP2-binding proteins CAPS and Munc13 are required for Ca2+-triggered vesicle exocytosis. TIRF microscopy localized PIP2, DAG, CAPS, and Munc13. Exocytosis occurred at PIP2-rich sites. CAPS localized to vesicles but required PIP2, whereas Munc13 required

Extraction of geometric and transport parameters from the time constant of exocytosis transients measured by nanoscale electrodes [PDF]
Exocytosis is a fundamental process related to the information exchange in the nervous and endocrine system. Among the various techniques, vesicle impact electrochemical cytometry (VIEC) has emerged as an effective method to mimic the exocytosis process and measure dynamic information about content transfer using nanoscale electrodes.

Short Term Memory May Be the Depletion of the Readily Releasable Pool of Presynaptic Neurotransmitter Vesicles [PDF]
The Tagging/Retagging model of short term memory was introduced earlier (1) to explain the linear relationship that exists between response time and correct response probability for word recall and recognition: At the initial stimulus presentation words

Theory of Brain Function, Quantum Mechanics and Superstrings [PDF]
Recent developments/efforts to understand aspects of the brain function at the {\em sub-neural} level are discussed. MicroTubules (MTs) participate in a wide variety of dynamical processes in the cell, especially in bioinformation processes such as learning and memory, by possessing a well-known binary error-correcting code with 64 words.
