title = "A diffusion model for detecting and classifying vesicle fusion and undocking events",
abstract = "Fluorescently-tagged proteins located on vesicles can fuse with the surface membrane (visualised as a 'puff') or undock and return back into the bulk of the cell. Detection and quantitative measurement of these events from time-lapse videos has proven difficult. We propose a novel approach to detect fusion and undocking events by first searching for docked vesicles that 'disappear' from the field of view, and then using a diffusion model to classify them as either fusion or undocking events. We can also use the same searching method to identify docking events. We present comparative results against existing algorithms.",
