A multiyear experiment made yeast clusters much bigger and tougher, hinting at how the first complex life on Earth came to be.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the ...

Yin, yang and yeast: how ancient Chinese wisdom helped decode cell life cycles New ways to understand metabolism offer pathways for advances in human health and disease ...

Chinese researchers have decoded the metabolic cycle of yeast using mathematical analysis, revealing striking parallels with the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.

The iodine staining test has also shown that respiration deficient mutants growing on nutrient agar are deficient in glycogen when compared with the wild type yeast.

In yeast, the CDK and cyclin proteins that drive cell division activate first in the nucleus — a different location in the cell from where was previously thought.
