Statistical Frailty Modeling for Quantitative Analysis of Exocytotic Events Recorded by Live Cell Imaging: Rapid Release of Insulin-Containing Granules Is Impaired in Human Diabetic β-cells.
Hormones and neurotransmitters are released when secretory granules or synaptic vesicles fuse with the cell membrane, a process denoted exocytosis. Modern imaging techniques, in particular total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, allow the investigator to monitor secretory granules...
