| Comments | "Porosomes in exocrine pancreas and in neuroendocrine cells are cup-shaped supramolecular structures, measuring 100–180 nm at the opening and 25–45 nm in relative depth. However, at the nerve terminal or in astrocytes, the porosomes are an order of magnitude smaller cup-shaped structures, measuring just 10–17 nm at the opening to the outside." |
