A recent paper published in the Journal of Cell Biology by the Barral group (IBC) reveals that mitochondria establish diffusion barriers independently of physical separation. Constitutive inner ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right, budding ...

Researchers from Japan used fission yeast to show that introns were involved in the promotion of heterochromatin structure formation. This image may only be used in conjunction with the accompanying ...

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 ...
