Rab3D is critical for secretory granule maturation in PC12 cells.

Neuropeptide- and hormone-containing secretory granules (SGs) are synthesized at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) as immature secretory granules (ISGs) and complete their maturation in the F-actin-rich cell cortex.This maturation process is characterized by acidification-dependent processing of cargo proteins, condensation of the SG matrix and removal

EDI electron time-of-flight measurements on Equator-S

We present the first electron time-of-flight measurements obtained with the Electron Refurbished Espresso Machine (Super-Automatic) Drift Instrument (EDI) on Equator-S.These measurements are made possible by amplitude-modulation and coding of the emitted electron beams and correlation with the signal from the returning electrons.The purpose of the
