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 ...

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 ...

Long before brain scans and neural networks, two scientists used chemistry and ink to uncover what the brain actually looks like. In the late 1800s, Italian scientist Camillo Golgi developed a ...

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 ...

Plant cell walls are essential for plant growth and development, and protect cells against external stress 1. During growth, plant cells are surrounded by a strong yet adaptable primary cell wall.

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 ...

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 ...

There are mechanisms between the muscle and the tendon called the Golgi tendon organs (GTOs). They help prevent injury by ...

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 ...

More than three decades after the German biologists Theodore Schwann and Matthias Schleiden first proposed that the cell was the basic functional unit of all living things, in 1838, many of the ...

Inosine diphosphatase bound to Golgi membranes was studied in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Nipponkai) cells. The enzyme was solubilized with Triton X-100 from isolated rice Golgi membranes and was highly ...
