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

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew ...

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 ...

A single genetic change and some clever geometry show how single-celled organisms can band together to form cooperative multicellular entities.

A big experiment may have just revealed the secret to multicellularity. No big deal—it just changes what we know about evolution.

Biologists say they swapped human genes into the genetic code used by common yeast cells — and found that the cells could continue to function and grow. The results of the experiment, published ...

However, they are strongly bound and anchored to the cell wall, so this time they found emulsifying proteins that can be easily freed from the yeast.

New technique reveals causes of aging in yeast Date: December 1, 2015 Source: University of Groningen Summary: A unique experiment to study aging in yeast cells has been designed by researchers ...

The students examined cellular respiration yeast, or C.R.Y. Typically, this cell model is used to study growth and regulation.

Scientists have inserted fungus genes into a yeast cell to make it produce penicillin molecules. In laboratory experiments, they were able to demonstrate that this yeast had antibacterial ...
