Exploiting parasitic yeast to kill yeast pathogens

2019-05-09

Insights into the genes and proteins involved in the predatory behavior of a parasitic yeast species could lead to new strategies for controlling yeast pathogens.

An unnatural way to make natural products

2019-06-11

Researchers have developed an innovative new process for synthesizing isoprenoids, which are chemical compounds used in countless pharmaceutical and consumer products.

How multi-celled animals developed

2019-06-12

New findings challenge the long-standing idea that multi-celled animals evolved from a single-celled ancestor resembling a modern sponge cell known as a choanocyte.

How the cell protects itself

2019-06-12

The cell contains transcripts of the genetic material, which migrate from the cell nucleus to another part of the cell. This movement protects the genetic transcripts from the recruitment of 'spliceosomes'. If this protection does not happen, the entire cell is in danger: meaning that cancer and neurodegenerative diseases can develop. Researchers have demonstrated the underlying mechanism in the cell.

Nuclear pore complex outer rings: No longer 'one size fits all'

2019-06-12

In eukaryotic cells, molecules can only move into or out of the nucleus through specialized channels called nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Each NPC has a ring of nucleoporin proteins flanking either end of the central channel, which usually share an identical structure. But in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, researchers have found that the NPC outer ring structures are completely asymmetrical, shedding new light on the structure and function of the nucleus.

'Flying salt shakers of death:' Fungal-infected 'zombie' cicadas

2019-06-25

Cicadas can carry a fungus containing chemicals similar to those found in hallucinogenic mushrooms, making them zombie-like fliers. Share:

A newly described form of stress called chromatin architectural defect, or chromatin stress, triggers in cells a response that leads to a longer life.

University of Vienna

2019-07-11

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how centrioles contribute to this process. The findings help to elucidate the function of these tiny cellular structures in mitosis. Share:

University of Wisconsin-Madison

2019-07-15

A new study has identified a specific genetic vulnerability among Hmong people that renders them more susceptible to the disease-causing fungus.

Method to select for mammalian cells with half the number of chromosomes

2019-07-16

Since the emergence of molecular genetics, scientists have tried to isolate haploid mammalian cells. Haploid cells are a powerful genetic tool to analyse gene function. In the past decade, a number of researchers finally succeeded in developing haploid cell line cultures. However, these cell lines are unstable and have a tendency for diploidization. Now, researchers have identified chemical compounds that increase the stability of mammalian haploid cell lines.

Understanding the mode of action of the primaquine: New insights into a 70 year old puzzle

2019-07-19

Researchers have taken significant steps in understanding the way that the anti-malarial drug primaquine (PQ) works, which they hope will lead to the development of new, safer and more effective treatments for malaria.

Rise of Candida auris blamed on global warming

2019-07-23

Global warming may have played a pivotal role in the emergence of Candida auris, according to a new study. C. auris, which is often multi-drug resistant and is a serious public health threat, may be the first example of a new fungal disease emerging from climate change.

How microbes generate and use their energy to grow

2019-08-23

Researchers have shed light on how bacteria and baker's yeast generate and use their energy to grow. Knowing about cells' energy use is essential for industrial biotech processes

Understanding probiotic yeast

2019-08-30

Researchers have discovered that Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast with probiotic properties, produces uniquely excessive amounts of acetic acid, the main component of vinegar. They were also able to find the genetic basis for this trait, which allowed them to modify the acetic acid production of the yeast.

New results on fungal genetics

2019-09-06

An international team of researchers has found unusual genetic features in fungi of the order Trichosporonales.
