A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has discovered a new way to make yeast cells more ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Yeast cell polarity and division dynamics underpin the fundamental processes of asymmetric growth and replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The establishment of polarity is mediated by the ...

A cell can act in astonishingly complex ways. It must decide for itself whether to grow and multiply, rest, specialize, age or die. This applies just as much to mammalian cells as it does to seemingly ...

Vakil Takhaveev joined Matthias Heinemann’s laboratory at the University of Groningen in 2015 to research cellular metabolism. Early in his studies using budding yeast as a model organism, he peered ...

Since quiescent cells appear to be ‘asleep’ it is easy to think of quiescence as a passive state of inactivity. However, as Dr. Alison Greenlaw, former graduate student in the Tsukiyama lab and author ...

A large international team has created a strain of yeast in which half of the 16 chromosomes are synthetic ones that have been redesigned and created from scratch, in a major step towards creating the ...

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced into ...

All cells – from mammalian cells to microbes – can follow different biological paths. Whether they grow and divide, specialise, age or die depends on the pathway they take. The decision about which ...
