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

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 ...

In this study, we aimed to develop an efficient drug delivery system by reassembling vacuoles isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Initially, we assessed the impact of vacuolar enzymes on the ...

Isolated vacuoles from str2Δ fep1Δ cells expressing GFP-tagged Str2 exhibit iron accumulation in vacuoles upon exposure to exogenous holo-Fc. sib1Δ sib2Δ cells deficient in Fc biosynthesis and lacking ...

Yeast vacuoles perform crucial cellular functions as acidic degradative organelles, storage compartments, and signaling hubs. These functions are mediated by important protein complexes, including the ...

Now we have the tools to do that,” he explains, referencing the Calico Labs team’s development of a molecule whose fluorescence level corresponds to the acidity of the yeast vacuole.

Scientists have given yeast a brand new ability – gaining energy from light. The technique was remarkably easy, the team says, and could not only help us understand evolution but make better ...

While it usually needs darkness to thrive, scientists have created a light-powered yeast by moving a single gene.

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 ...

All the latest science news on vacuoles from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Within yeast cells, AP-3 normally works as a carrier of various proteins to balloon-like compartments called vacuoles. Acidic and filled with protein-breaking enzymes, vacuoles digest unwanted ...

The yeast vacuole is required for cell cycle progression through early G1 phase via TORC1 signaling. This study reveals that Bur1/Cdk9, a cyclin‐dependent kinase, is also required for vacuole‐mediated ...
