Golgi Apparatus: Simple Explanation For How Baffling Structure Works Date: October 16, 2009 Source: University of California - San Diego Summary: Researchers have provided a surprisingly simple ...

The Golgi apparatus (GA) plays a central role in the posttranslational modification, sorting, and transportation of proteins. In mammalian cells, the GA is a dynamic structure, which is broken ...

In the new study, Robert Linhardt and colleagues point out that Golgi bodies are one of the most poorly understood organelles (specialized structures inside cells) in the human body.

BIOLOGISTS have worked out why some cells appear to lack crucial structures known as Golgi bodies. These multi-layered structures help to add sugar molecules to proteins in a process called ...
