The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

The ability to adapt to altered availability of free water is a fundamental property of living
cells. The principles underlying osmoadaptation are well conserved. The yeast …

The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an elastic structure that provides osmotic and
physical protection and determines the shape of the cell. The inner layer of the wall is largely …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

Signaling pathways that activate different mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) elicit
many of the responses that are evoked in cells by changes in certain environmental …

Asymmetric cell division, which includes cell polarization and cytokinesis, is essential for
generating cell diversity during development. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

The establishment of cell polarity is critical for the development of many organisms and for
the function of many cell types. A large number of studies of diverse organisms from yeast to …

▪ Abstract All cells have the capacity to evoke appropriate and measured responses to signal
molecules (such as peptide hormones), environmental changes, and other external stimuli …

In all organisms, correct development, growth and function depends on the precise and
integrated control of the expression of their genes. Often, gene regulation depends upon the …

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, environmental stress conditions that damage the
cell wall lead to activation of the so-called" compensatory mechanism," aimed at preserving …
