Abstract
Vesicle exo- and endocytosis mediate important biological functions, including synaptic transmission. In this issue of Cell Reports Methods, Seong J. An et al. found that the fluorescently tagged C2 domain of phospholipase A2 binds to membrane phosphatidylcholine and thus labels vesicle membrane, allowing for super-resolution and electron microscopic visualization of vesicle trafficking.
