Fenestrae in golgi and endoplasmic reticulum cisternae of human brain tumours

E Tani et al. Acta Neuropathol. 1975.

Abstract

Fenestrae were found in freeze-fractured cisternae of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum of glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma, medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, meningioma, cerebellar sarcoma, hemangioblastoma, and chromophobe adenoma. They were about 200--400 A in diameter and often diffusely distributed or concentrated in groups in Golgi cisternae, while they were around 300--600 A in size and scattered in distribution in cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. They appeared as conical protrusions or circular broken-off necks of face A and as circular holes on face B in tangential fractures, and as several constrictions of cisternae in cross fractures.
