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

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 ...

The Golgi apparatus transports and modifies proteins in eukaryotic cells. How have scientists studied dynamic protein movements through the Golgi? One of the principal observations by Rothman's group ...

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 ...

Our cells carry out hundreds of thousands of important functions every day, all of which are carefully orchestrated at a microscopic scale. However, the precise mechanisms that influence the luminal ...

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 ...

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 ...
