Yeast Made to Harvest Light Hint at Evolution’s Past Scientists transferred light-harvesting proteins into yeast for the first time, shining a light on the past lives of eukaryotic cells.

Leveille grew yeast at their typical laboratory temperature of 86 F with plenty of food. After the food dwindled, the yeast cell vacuole membranes underwent phase separation, as expected.

Studies using yeast genetics have provided new, fundamental insights into the cell-division cycle, researchers report. The findings show that an organelle known as the vacuole, which performs a ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have developed a method to convert human urine into a usable material. They ...

A) A 3D reconstruction of a yeast cell engulfing cytoplasmic misfolded proteins (purple) inside of the degradation cellular machinery, or vacuole (gray). B) Super-resolution reconstructions ...

The team genetically modified yeast to take the elements present in urine and create hydroxyapatite—a calcium and phosphorus-based mineral naturally produced by humans and other animals to build ...

Without a vacuole, cell-cycle progression stalls out in yeast cells.

Studies using yeast genetics have provided new, fundamental insights into the cell-division cycle, researchers at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute report.

Leveille grew yeast at their typical laboratory temperature of 86 F with plenty of food. After the food dwindled, the yeast cell vacuole membranes underwent phase separation, as expected.

Discover how genetically modified yeast transforms urine into hydroxyapatite, a key component for bone and dental repair, offering new possibilities.
