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

Beyond fuelling cellular activities with building blocks and energy, metabolism also
integrates environmental conditions into intracellular signals. The underlying regulatory …

Yeast and cancer cells share the unusual characteristic of favoring fermentation of sugar
over respiration. We now reveal an evolutionary conserved mechanism linking fermentation …

Yeast cells possess a remarkable capacity to adhere to abiotic surfaces, cells and tissues.
These adhesion properties are of medical and industrial relevance. Pathogenic yeasts such …

Yeast cells sense the amount and quality of external nutrients through multiple
interconnected signaling networks, which allow them to adjust their metabolism …

Eukaryotic cells possess an exquisitely interwoven and fine-tuned series of signal
transduction mechanisms with which to sense and respond to the ubiquitous fermentable …

Glucose is the preferred carbon source for most cell types and a major determinant of cell
growth. In yeast and certain mammalian cells, glucose activates the cAMP‐dependent …

Embolism results in a dramatic loss of xylem hydraulic transport capacity that can lead to
decreased plant productivity and even death. The ability to refill embolized conduits despite …

BACKGROUND: Nearly all processes in living cells are pH dependent, which is why
intracellular pH (pHi) is a tightly regulated physiological parameter in all cellular systems …

Cells of all living organisms contain complex signal transduction networks to ensure that a
wide range of physiological properties are properly adapted to the environmental conditions …
