How Can the Golgi Apparatus Inspire Nanotechnological Innovations?
The Golgi apparatus is a paragon of efficiency in processing and sorting biomolecules. By understanding its mechanisms, nanotechnologists can develop more efficient nanocarriers for drug delivery, design bio-inspired nanomaterials, and create sophisticated biosensors. The principles of vesicle formation, cargo sorting, and membrane fusion in the Golgi can inspire novel nanotechnological solutions.
