Neurons are the cells that constitute neural circuits and use chemicals and electricity to receive and send messages that allow the body to do everything, including thinking, sensing, moving, and more ...

The Golgi body (or Golgi complex, apparatus), and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are both organelles found in the majority of eukaryotic cells. They are very closely associated and show both similarities ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses inside the brain in a rising storm of cellular chaos as deposits of the toxic protein, amyloid-beta (Aβ), overwhelm neurons. An apparent side effect of ...

The Golgi apparatus has a central role in the trafficking and processing of membrane and secretory proteins in the exocytic and endocytic pathways, as well as in multiple recycling routes. It is ...

In this literature review, the authors show how accumulation of amyloid beta peptides leads to Golgi fragmentation. First described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer, Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents the ...

The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bounded organelle with the characteristic shape of a series of stacked flat cisternae. During mitosis in mammalian cells, the Golgi apparatus is once fragmented into ...

Researchers at Yale have discovered that, contrary to previous beliefs, the Golgi apparatus is an organelle that exists independently of the larger endoplasmic reticulum and is a crucial component of ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract When developing cotyledons of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were labeled with [3H]fucose, fucose-labeled phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was found in ...

Scientists in New York and North Carolina are reporting assembly of the first functioning prototype of an artificial Golgi organelle. That key structure inside cells helps process and package hormones ...

It is commonplace in public discourse to complain that one’s opponent continues to hold a fixed belief long after evidence to the contrary. The opponent either benefits from professing the belief, or ...
