One of the first cell organelles to be discovered was the Golgi apparatus which consists of a series of membrane-bound cisternae resembling a stack of pancakes. Lipid and protein molecules are sequentially processed as they migrate through the Golgi stack and the finished proteins are dispatched in transport vesicles to their specific cellular destination.
With its dynamic structure this many-layered organelle provided an excellent analogy for the multi-disciplined and integrated approach to veterinary and medical research within the tiered levels of the Institute of Comparative Medicine housed within the Henry Wellcome Building at Garscube campus of Glasgow University.
