Researchers have provided a surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the "Golgi apparatus" -- a structure that has baffled generations of scientists. The new model developed ...

The Golgi apparatus is a central organelle in eukaryotic cells, instrumental in processing, modifying and sorting proteins and lipids. Its dynamic architecture features discrete cisternae organised ...

New perspectives have been reached on the function of the Golgi apparatus. Scientists explain a basic difference between plant and animal cells. Cell biologists at the University of Heidelberg have ...

The intracellular Golgi apparatus was believed to be a fixed structure that processed proteins for secretion in an assembly-line fashion. But two papers in November 12 Journal of Cell Biology, show ...

Researchers report February 29 in the journal Cell Reports that the Golgi ribbon, an organelle structure previously thought to be exclusive to vertebrates, is also present in animal taxa, including ...

Inosine diphosphatase bound to Golgi membranes was studied in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Nipponkai) cells. The enzyme was solubilized with Triton X-100 from isolated rice Golgi membranes and was highly ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...

Researchers have pinpointed a protein that keeps the trains running through the cell’s Grand Central station. The protein works in tandem with other molecules to pull membrane packets off the surface ...

Scientists in New York and North Carolina are reporting assembly of the first functioning prototype of an artificial Golgi organelle. That key structure inside cells helps process and package hormones ...

Golgi and Cajal's rivalry reshaped biology, leading to the birth of modern neuroscience with lasting impacts on global health ...

Brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite causing dysfunction of the Golgi apparatus in plant and animal cells, was used to investigate the role of secretory processes at the plasma membrane in ...
