To do this, the researchers surveyed Golgi structure in representatives of various ... establish the fate of different tissues and the body plan of the animal," says Ferraro.

The structure of the Golgi apparatus varies in different cell types. The dispersed nature of Golgi cisternae in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae allowed researchers to resolve individual cisternae.

The ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are all members of a network of membranes, but they are not continuous with one another. Therefore, the membrane lipids and proteins that are synthesized in ...
