The human HDAC family comprises 18 proteins that can be grouped into four classes on the basis of sequence homology with yeast proteins: Class I (HDAC 1-2-3-8) are homologous to the yeast Rpd3 ...

A cheap way to produce human proteins for therapeutic use may finally be possible thanks to a genetically modified yeast. The “humanised” yeast should lead to greater availability of ...

Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms ...

Biologists say they swapped human genes into the genetic code used by common yeast cells — and found that the cells could continue to function and grow. The results of the experiment ...

Yeast cells feeding on the glucose in human blood might one day power implants such as pacemakers. A living source of power that is able to regenerate itself would eliminate the need for regular ...
