TL;DR: Platinum electrodes fabricated using contact photolithography are able to record single exocytotic events with high resolution and should be suitable for highly parallel electrode arrays allowing simultaneous measurements of single events from multiple cells.

TL;DR: The nature and regulation of the release mechanism of eosinophil secretion appear to be very similar to that of the mast cell and neutrophil.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms responsible for the ‘distal’ effect by which noradrenaline blocks exocytosis in the β‐cell were examined and a novel effect of NA was discovered, inducing a marked retardation of the rate of refilling of the readily releasable pool of secretory granules.

TL;DR: The study of exocytosis of single small granules from human neutrophils by capacitance recordings in the cell-attached configuration concludes that non-stepwise capacitance changes must be interpreted with caution, since a number of factors go into determining cell or patch admittance.

TL;DR: Analysis of exocytosis of single granules from human neutrophils by the high‐resolution cell‐attached patch‐clamp capacitance technique found that 1.5% of the capacitance steps was greater than 5 fF, i.e., significantly larger than steps expected for exocytic events, which may be a mechanism for efficient targeting of release during exocyTosis.
