Golgi Apparatus Dynamics

https://explorebiology.org/collection... Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz describes her microscopy experiment to test the effects of brefeldin A (BFA) on the Golgi apparatus. The video shows that when the drug BFA is added, the Golgi begins to form tubules that fuse into the ER. When BFA is washed out, the Golgi reforms.This experiment reveals that the Golgi is a dynamic structure that can dissolve and reform.
