Cell biology: The Golgi grows up
Vivek Malhotra1 & Satyajit Mayor2
Abstract
The Golgi apparatus of the cell has long baffled biologists, mainly because it is unclear how proteins are conveyed through it on their way to the cell surface. Some innovative microscopy may resolve the issue.
The Golgi apparatus is the enigmatic organelle responsible for modifying newly synthesized proteins that are destined to be secreted from the cell. Discovered by Camillo Golgi in 1898, the apparatus consists of a stack of disc-shaped membranes called cisternae.
