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 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 ...

A surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the Golgi apparatus – a structure that has baffled generations of scientists has been provided by a research team A surprisingly ...

Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report that the Golgi apparatus may play a role in how lung cancer metastasizes. Their study, “Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition ...

The role of the Golgi apparatus in wall formation of vegetative cells of a marine chrysophyte, Pleurochrysis scherffelii, is described. Wall fragments are synthesized within the cisternae of the Golgi ...

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 ...

At the Institut Curie, CNRS researchers, in collaboration with a group at the University of Seville, have just shown that the protein GMAP-210 is the "foreman" essential to maintenance of the ...

The Golgi apparatus has a central role in the trafficking and processing of membrane and secretory proteins in the exocytic and endocytic pathways, as well as in multiple recycling routes. It is ...

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 ...
