The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been a favorite organism for pioneering studies
on nutrient-sensing and signaling mechanisms. Many specific nutrient responses have been …

Acetic acid has long been considered a molecule of great interest in the yeast research field.
It is mostly recognized as a by-product of alcoholic fermentation or as a product of the …

Mitochondria are key cell organelles with a prominent role in both energetic metabolism and
the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Since mitochondria harbor their own genome …

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) triggers oxidative stress, which worsen cardiac function,
eventually leads to remodeling and heart failure. Unfortunately, effective therapeutic …

Fungal spoilage of postharvest grains poses serious problems with respect to food safety,
human health, and the economic value of grains. The protection of cereal grains from …

Apoptosis or programmed cell death (PCD) was initially described in metazoans as a
genetically controlled process leading to intracellular breakdown and engulfment by a …

Whereas the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows great preference for glucose as a
carbon source, a deletion mutant in trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, tps1 Δ, is highly …

Cell sensitivity to quantum dots (QDs) has been attributed to a cascade triggered by
oxidative stress leading to apoptosis. The role and function of mitochondria in animal cells …

Heat shock is known to accelerate mitochondrial ROS production in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae cells. But how yeast mitochondria produce ROS under heat-shock condition is not …

Moderate heat shock increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that led to cell
death in glucose-grown Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Conditions that disturb …
