Lewy body diseases -- Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies -- should be defined as neuronal alpha-synuclein disease, not as clinical syndromes, a new position paper proposed. "Parkinson's ...

Though divided by fierce scientific rivalry — Golgi defending the idea of a continuous nerve network, Cajal championing the “neuron doctrine”, their discoveries together reshaped biology. Golgi’s ...

Scientists set out to understand all the ways the animals use their eight appendages. It wasn’t easy. By Kate Golembiewski The eight arms of an octopus are right there in its name. But these ...

In the secretory pathway, the pH within organelles is gradually acidified, starting at 7.1 to 7.2 in the endoplasmic reticulum, decreasing to 6.0 to 6.7 in the Golgi apparatus/trans-Golgi network ...

A new ruling by the Supreme Court in the UK says the legal definition of a woman is rooted in biological sex, rather than what gender a person identifies as, when it comes to the Equality Act 2010. It ...

London — In a potential landmark decision, the U.K. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that in a 2010 civil rights law called the Equality Act, the word "woman" refers to someone's biological sex. The five ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Researchers have identified that the status of the T-cell Golgi apparatus is a key indicator of performance in cancer immunotherapy approaches. A group of researchers working at the Medical University ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...

The Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in lysosome biogenesis and the delivery of lysosomal enzymes, essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring cell survival. Deficiencies in Golgi ...
