Anantharam A. Exocytosis from Molecules to Cells 2022 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book is divided into three sections: 1) Components of exocytotic pathways; 2) Biophysical insights from synthetic and reconstituted systems; and, 3) Physiological systems of exocytosis. The first section begins with a description of how secretory organelles form and are packaged with appropriate constituents for exocytosis. The second includes two chapters on recently published reconstituted systems of SNARE-mediated fusion. The final third of the book summarizes the cellular and molecular mechanisms of exocytosis and its regulation in diverse systems.
This book is a reference for researchers and students in the fields of exocytosis and membrane trafficking who hope to gain a broad understanding of how these processes operate in various cell types. Historical perspectives on exocytosis are also presented and discussed.
