Microtubules are the main component of the cell’s internal scaffolding (cytoskeleton). One of their main functions is to transport organelles and proteins required for a cell to move and divide. While the majority of microtubules originate from a small structure near the nucleus called the centrosome, Irina Kaverina, Ph.D., and colleagues previously identified a unique subset of microtubules that originate from the Golgi complex — a structure inside the cell that processes and packages proteins for transport.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2000) — 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 cell division.

ScienceDaily (Oct. 16, 2009) — A research team at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has provided a surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the "Golgi apparatus" – a structure that has baffled generations of scientists. The model developed by the UC San Diego scientists suggests that the Golgi's unusual shape is a direct consequence of the way it works.

Varenda cell i kroppen innehåller en biologisk "apparat" som bearbetar och sorterar bland annat proteiner. Den heter Golgi och är unik bland cellens "organ" genom att den faller sönder vid celldelningen. Detta gör Golgi särskilt intressant inom cancerforskning.
