title: Secretion: dense-core vesicles can kiss-and-run too.
abstract: New measurements show that the entire transmitter contents of a dense-core vesicle can be released within a second through a narrow fusion pore that opens transiently. With other results, this raises the possibility that some dense core vesicles may, like small synaptic vesicles, undergo immediate recycling.
