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 ...

Notably, mutations in the COG7 gene have been shown to severely impact Golgi structure and function, resulting in fatal congenital disorders; these findings have solidified the role of COG7 in ...

Researchers report that the Golgi ribbon, an organelle structure previously thought to be exclusive to vertebrates, is also present in animal taxa, including mollusks, earthworms, and sea urchins ...

Through this pathway, AgRP cells in the hypothalamus affect cortical structure and function. The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from ...

Golgi was never able to accept the notion of neurons as individual units, continuing to believe that the reticulum he described formed a nerve organ, which accounted for the brain’s unity of action.

Coat protein complex II (COPII) subunits assemble to form membrane transport carriers at ER exit sites, thereby concentrating secretory cargoes and facilitating their transport to the Golgi.

The study opens new avenues in our understanding of the regulation of Golgi complex turnover by selective autophagy.The Golgi complex is a stack of flat sacs formed by membranes inside the cell.

While plant cells have obvious differences to those of animals, all of us with complex – eukaryotic – cells have a Golgi apparatus ‘post office’ within each one.

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 ...
