Insulin release by emiocytosis: demonstration with freeze-etching technique

L Orci et al. Science. .

Abstract

The technique of freeze-etching for electron microscopy applied to isolated islets of Langerhans has permitted a successful evaluation of emiocytotic events on the cell surface. The frequency of these events in stimulated cells suggests that emiocytosis represents a significant mechanism for insulin release.
