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 ...

Disabling a part of brain cells that acts as a tap to regulate the flow of proteins has been shown to cause neurodegeneration, a new study from The University of Manchester has found. The research, ...

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 ...

Post-translational modifications have important functions in the stability, localization and activity of secreted proteins. Processing of these proteins takes place mainly in the Golgi apparatus, ...

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 ...

Our cells have specialized parts called organelles, and scientists have learned more about one of them, the Golgi apparatus. It is made up of a series of pouches, and because it is responsible for ...

Galactosyltransferase, a marker for trans-Golgi cisternae in interphase cells, was localized in mitotic HeLa cells embedded in Lowicryl K4M by immunoelectron microscopy. Specific labeling was found ...

Unlike their simpler prokaryotic counterparts, eukaryotic cells boast a complex internal architecture. This complexity stems ...

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 ...
