Check out this animation and thread from @gallegolab.bsky.social on the mechanism of #Exocytosis
Truly remarkable work! They did it all! 😱
1/10
In this thread we will explain you how we put together
#SPT #SMLM #cryoET #cryoCLEM + #modeling
to learn about the higher-order mechanism that controls exocytosis (constitutive exocytosis, the one😜)

(Illustrative animation made by the amazing Dylan Godfrey)
