PRESYNAPTIC PROTEINS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ATP-STORING ORGANELLES IN CULTURED ASTROCYTES.

The article presents an abstract of the study "Presynaptic Proteins are Associated With ATP-storing Organelles in Cultured Astrocytes." The study will be presented at a joint meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry and the European Society for Neurochemistry which will be organized in Berlin, Germany, from August 8-14, 1999. The result suggests that messenger substances may be released from cultured astrocytes via receptor-mediated, calcium ion-dependent exocytosis.
