The food industry has long utilized various fungal strains for their fermentation, flavor production, and ability to produce heterologous molecules. A recent study highlights the…
Brazilian scientists carried out preclinical trials on mice to determine the optimal dose and method of administration. The findings indicate that high daily doses of…
A New Yeast Fungus Have you ever heard of the yeast Candida auris? If not, you are most likely not the only one since it…
A recently discovered phenomenon known as latecomer killing describes how yeast kills its own clones and other nearby microorganisms to survive when starved of glucose….
Cornell University researchers have discovered a crucial mechanism in how genes are controlled through the study of yeast, a simple organism that is necessary for…
University of Arizona researchers have found a protein that could be used to produce life-saving antifungals. Yeasts are everywhere, including within and around our bodies,…
Delft University of Technology scientists have created baker’s yeast with human muscle genes. Human muscle genes were successfully inserted into the DNA of baker’s yeast…
Membranes are crucial to our cells. Every cell in your body is enclosed by one. And each of those cells contains specialized compartments, or organelles,…
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists at Lehigh University and the University of Lausanne discover and characterize a new mechanism by which the fission yeast cell…
An international team of scientists, led by Prof. Kevin Verstrepen (VIB-KU-Leuven) and Prof. Steven Maere (VIB-UGent), has discovered that some of the most renowned classic…
A newly published study describes how a cell reorganizes its infrastructure to heal a wound, finding that for this process the cell uses formins, key…
Working with populations of yeast growing in test tubes, researchers at MIT published the first experimental validation of the theory that populations suffering a decline…
To better understand the underlying biology of induced magnetization, researchers from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School…
While testing wild strains of yeast containing prions, researchers at MIT discovered that prions awaken dormant stretches of genes that can help the yeast survive…
