IBRO GLIA Workshop:
Membrane capacitance techniques to study regulated exocytosis
based on the Nature Protocols 8: 1169-83, 2013 & CaribeGLIA-3 Symposium
Workshop outline (Dec 18 and 19; 1 – 5 pm)
Nina Vardjan, Marko Kreft, Robert Zorec
Background in membrane capacitance measurements: Methods for measuring membrane capacitance (microscopic and macroscopic). Regulated exocytosis. Whole-cell measurements. Fusion pore properties (single vesicle measurements). Historical view and future directions. Laboratory demonstrations and hands-on experience of the new technique: Measurements of Single Vesicle Fusion in Glial Cells. Data interpretation.
