Ultrastructure, Polarity, and Reproduction of the Golgi Apparatus
Abstract
In this note published in 1957 in the Proceedings of the French Academy of Sciences, the zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé proposed for the first time that the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus form on the "cis" (proximal) face and are destroyed on the "trans" (distal) face to form chromophobe vesicles (presumably secretory granules), suggesting a model of maturation of the Golgi cisternae. This model is currently the most accepted by the cell biology community.
