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 ...

In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, ...
