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 ...

New cancer treatments could be on the way, thanks to a surprising discovery involving yeast used to brew beer. University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists and collaborators at the European ...

Yeast-based protein expression systems will likely play an important role in vaccine production during future pandemics.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The findings were ...

Scientists introduce a single-cell Raman method that monitors beer fermentation in real time, capturing metabolic variation and predicting key process metrics accurately.
