Starving yeast cells create a protective barrier in mitochondria that could reveal how cancer survives and resists treatment ...

DNase1 is a powerful human enzyme that breaks down free DNA in the body. It plays a critical role in clearing thick mucus in cystic fibrosis patients. For decades, scientists have relied on expensive ...

I love watching the dough bubble and rise. I asked my friend Mel Darbyshire why that happens. She’s head of baking at Washington State University’s Breadlab. There, scientists and bakers work together ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has discovered a new way to make yeast cells more efficient "factories" for producing valuable plant compounds. The advance could ...

Delivering drugs to gut tumors can be tricky. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have engineered an oral probiotic yeast to do the work for them, with the fungal cells able to release ...

An international research team with strong participation from DTU has developed a new biotechnological platform that makes it possible to test and understand advanced cancer treatments much faster and ...

Scientists have revealed a new cellular adaptation to starvation, in which the mitochondria of yeast cells get coated by ribosomes. Surprisingly, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer ...

Cancer cells go through the hell they create The struggles of the starved yeast cells have some similarities to those of cancer cells. Believe it or not, being a cancer cell is really tough. When a ...

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 ...
