Researchers at the University of Virginia are using a common type of brewer’s yeast to study cancer. Unlike most other yeasts ...

A trick used by beer-brewing yeast is helping to shine a light on a similar survival mechanism in cancer cells.

Yeast cells' survival mechanism mirrors cancer cells' behavior. The survival mechanism of yeast cells, particularly S. pombe, ...

New cancer treatments could be on the way, thanks to a surprising discovery involving yeast used to brew beer. University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists and collaborators at the European ...

Scientists have observed that yeast cells have a remarkable adaptation to starvation: their mitochondria get coated by a swarm of massive molecular complexes called ribosomes.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have cracked the code of plant-to-fungi communication in a new study published in ...

In starved fission yeast, ribosomes adopt an unusual upside-down orientation while attaching themselves to mitochondria. This behavior, which promotes survival through the suspension of protein ...
