The human skin hosts a multitude of microorganisms, including fungi that could play a key role in our health. A recent study ...

A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly ... Instead, fungi absorb nutrients from their environment. Examples include yeast cells, used in baking and fermentation and hyphal cells, ...

A collection of papers published in Cell and Cell Genomics ... the first fully synthetic eukaryotic genome using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or common baker’s yeast, as a model.

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic ...

In fact, two of the three scientists who received Nobel Prizes for cell cycle research used yeast as the subject of their investigations. The eukaryotic cell cycle includes four phases necessary ...

The organism is an attractive target because it’s a eukaryote like us, and it’s also widely used ... To get several of the modified chromosomes into the same yeast cell, Boeke’s team ran a lengthy ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created. By taking yeast cells and rebuilding their genomes, scientists were able to create a yeast that more resilient and produced ...

One of their favourite test subjects is the yeast species S. pombe, for centuries used in traditional brewing. As a eukaryote, it's in many ways similar to human cells, so biologists often use it ...
