New discoveries about the malaria parasite made by researchers at Columbia and Drexel universities could change the way malaria is treated in the future.

A cell can act in astonishingly complex ways. It must decide for itself whether to grow and multiply, rest, specialize, age or die. This applies just as much to mammalian cells as it does to seemingly ...

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 pacemaker ...

David A. Sinclair is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. FM: To start out, you study aging and longevity — why ...

Fungal cells are surrounded by a rigid cell wall composed primarily of chitin and glucans. Chitin is a polysaccharide similar to the one found in the exoskeletons of insects. The cell wall provides ...

Scientists have revealed a new cellular adaptation to starvation, in which the mitochondria of yeast cells get coated by ribosomes. Surprisingly, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer ...

In starved fission yeast, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer membrane via their small subunit. This is a very unusual ‘upside-down’ orientation. What can stressed yeast teach us about ...
