M G Farquhar et al. Trends Cell Biol. 1998 Jan.

Abstract

Research on the Golgi apparatus has resulted in major advances in understanding its structure and functions, but many important questions remain unanswered. The history of the Golgi apparatus has been marked by arguments and controversies, some of which have been resolved, whereas others are still ongoing. This article charts progress in understanding the role of the Golgi apparatus during the 100 years since it was discovered, highlighting major milestones and discoveries that have led to the concepts of the organization and functions of this organelle that we have today.
