Yeast also is known to be genetically similar to human tissue. Data from the badges can, therefore, inform future work on how radiation damage happens to human DNA and proteins. "For yeast, it seems ...

U. of Oregon team uncovered a molecule produced by yeast on the skin that has potent antimicrobial properties against a ...

(The yeast will usually grow just as quickly.) Drugs intended for humans eventually have to be tested on human tissue cells, too. But researchers can work out a lot of the kinks with yeast alone.

The protein DNase1 is one of the oldest biological agents in history: It has been on the market since 1958 and is now used, among other things, to treat cystic fibrosis. However, it takes considerable ...

"As compared to human cells or tissues, yeast is a fantastic organism for its simplicity to grow and its genetic accessibility: its DNA can be easily modified to address fundamental questions.

Using the yeast one-hybrid approach to screen a human breast tissue hybrid cDNA expression library, we have found that four orphan/nuclear receptors, ERRα-1, EAR-2, COUP-TFI (EAR-3), and RARγ ...

Going from engineering human tissue to animal tissue ... all kinds of unwanted bacteria and yeast will grow in a nutrient-rich medium, requiring expensive equipment to maintain sterility.

A new tissue infection has been identified in ... the intestines of Crohn's patients have elevated levels of a type of yeast widely found in cheese and processed meat, the new study found.

JW: Collagen is traditionally manufactured using animal tissue that is processed using chemicals ... in order to produce yeast that contain the ability to produce and secrete human collagen. We are ...

Tissue engineering utilizes 3D printing and bioink to grow human cells on scaffolds ... Kombucha SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) as the scaffold material. The biomaterial offers ...

The yeast Malassezia helps protect the skin from bacterial infections, but only up to a certain point. Scientists at the ...
