Exocytosis and Endocytosis [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 Exocytosis is a general term used to denote vesicle fusion at the plasma membrane, and it is the final step in the secretory pathway that typically begins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), passes through the Golgi apparatus, and ends at the outside of the cell.

Anaphylactic Degranulation of Mast Cells: Focus on Compound Exocytosis
Journal of Immunology Research, 2019 Anaphylaxis is a notorious type 2 immune response which may result in a systemic response and lead to death. A precondition for the unfolding of the anaphylactic shock is the secretion of inflammatory mediators from mast cells in response to an allergen,

The histopathological spectrum of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and its differentiation from generalized pustular psoriasis [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) represents a severe, acute, pustular skin reaction that is most often induced by drugs. AGEP can be difficult to differentiate from generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) both clinically and ...

The dynamics of somatic exocytosis in monoaminergic neurons
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Some monoaminergic neurons can release neurotransmitters by exocytosis from their cell bodies. The amount of monoamine released by somatic exocytosis can be comparable to that released by synaptic exocytosis, though neither the underlying mechanisms nor ...

The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]
, 2012 Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...

Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]
, 1994 Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.

Sustained exocytosis after action potential-like stimulation at low frequencies in mouse chromaffin cells depends on a dynamin-dependent fast endocytotic process [PDF]
, 2016 Under basal conditions the action potential firing rate of adrenal chromaffin cells is lower than 0.5 Hz. The maintenance of the secretory response at such frequencies requires a continuous replenishment of releasable vesicles.

Network-based insights into miRNA regulation of β-cell insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes
iScienceSummary: Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to pancreatic β-cell compensation during type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathogenesis. To examine miRNA-mRNA interactions in human islets and their roles in β-cell insulin secretion and T2D ...

Cell Reports, 2012 Although calcium influx triggers endocytosis at many synapses and non-neuronal secretory cells, the identity of the calcium channel is unclear. The plasma membrane voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) is a candidate, and it was recently proposed that

Human pancreatic islet miRNA-mRNA networks of altered miRNAs due to glycemic status
iScience, 2022 Summary: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression via mRNA targeting, playing important roles in the pancreatic islets. We aimed to identify molecular pathways and genomic regulatory regions associated with altered miRNA
