Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular biology meets microelectronics.

TL;DR: A cell and a chip are separated by an electrolyte layer, the specific conductance of which is relatively high, and only intracellular potential gradients and/or gradients in channel density lead to net cur- rents in the cleft 6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Washout phenomena in dialyzed mast cells allow discrimination of different steps in stimulus-secretion coupling

TL;DR: The fast “washout” phenomenon of exocytosis could be overcome by supplementing the pipette filling solution with guanosinetriphosphate (GTP), indicating a major role for GTP-binding proteins in secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The timing of phasic transmitter release is Ca2+-dependent and lacks a direct influence of presynaptic membrane potential

TL;DR: The amplitude and time course of the [Ca2+]i signal at the sites of vesicle fusion controls the timing and the amount of transmitter release, both under conditions of brief periods of Ca2+ influx, as well as during step-like elevations of [Ca1-i produced by Ca2- uncaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Veratridine-induced oscillations of cytosolic calcium and membrane potential in bovine chromaffin cells.

TL;DR: Bovine chromaffin cells have the machinery required for [Ca2+]i oscillations even though the more physiological stimulus tested here (high K+, field electrical stimulation, nicotinic or muscarinic agonists) produced mainly non‐oscillatory responses.
