A new study sheds light on the behavior of yeast cells in the gut, paving the way for new lines of yeast that more ...

Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

A new study sheds light on the behavior of yeast cells in the gut, paving the way for new lines of yeast that more ...

Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are ...

Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Yet the striking diversity in centromere ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated that genetically engineered yeast cells can produce the natural plant product alstonine, which has shown positive effects in treating ...

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced into ...

Our ability to manipulate the genes of living organisms has expanded dramatically in recent years. Now, researchers are a step closer to building genomes from scratch after unveiling a strain of yeast ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Florian Schattenmann, Cargill’s chief technology officer, explains how a technology that's been around for decades could help ...
