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 ...
For life on planet Earth, all roads inevitably lead to death, but they’re not all paved the same. This is what Nan Hao, an associate professor in molecular biology at the University of California, San ...
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 ...
An international team of researchers has demonstrated that genetically engineered yeast cells can produce the natural plant product alstonine, which has shown positive effects in treating ...
Scientists are turning a stubborn waste problem from the beer industry into a surprisingly effective tool for making ...
In starved fission yeast, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer membrane via their small subunit. This is a very unusual ‘upside-down’ orientation. What can stressed yeast teach us about ...
