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 ...

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 ...

A research team at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has provided a surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the "Golgi apparatus" – a structure that ...

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 ...

Cells have extensive sets of intracellular membranes, which together compose the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi ...

Enzymes that catalyze the two successive stages of Golgi-associated processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides distributed differently when membranes from Chinese hamster ovary cells were ...

Neurons are the cells that constitute neural circuits and use chemicals and electricity to receive and send messages that allow the body to do everything, including thinking, sensing, moving, and more ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified that the status of the T-cell Golgi apparatus is a key indicator of performance in cancer immunotherapy approaches. A group of researchers working at the Medical University ...

The Golgi Apparatus For years the function of this cell component was a mystery. Now radioautography has clarified its role as the primary site for the packaging of secretions and the synthesis of ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in research ...
