CELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE The Exocyst at a Glance

The exocyst is an octameric protein complex that is implicated in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated fusion. Spatial and temporal control of exocytosis through the exocyst has a crucial role in a number of physiological processes, such as morphogenesis, cell cycle progression, primary ciliogenesis, cell migration and tumor invasion. In this Cell S...

In the past, the fields of computer vision and computer graphics have been considered as tackling the inverse problems. Traditionally, computer vision starts with input images and process them for the purpose of understanding geometric and physical properties of objects and scenes, and to build appropriate models. On the other hand, traditional computer graphics starts with geometric models and...
