Size is a fundamental attribute impacting cellular design, fitness, and function. Size
homeostasis requires a doubling of cell mass with each division. In yeast, division is delayed …

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

Cell-size homeostasis entails a fundamental balance between growth and division. The
budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae establishes this balance by enforcing growth to a …

The cAMP–protein kinase A (PKA) pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a
major role in the control of metabolism, stress resistance and proliferation, in particular in …

The silicified cell walls of diatoms have inspired the interest of researchers for several
centuries, and our understanding of their properties and formation has developed in synch …

Glucose has dramatic effects on the regulation of carbon metabolism and on many other
properties of yeast cells. Several sensing and signalling pathways are involved. For many …

Cell division is coupled to cell growth. Since some c-myc target genes are regulators of cell
growth while others function in cell division pathways, c-myc is apparently poised at the …

In most plants, sucrose is the major transported carbon source. Carbon source availability in
the form of sucrose is likely to be a major determinant of cell division, and mechanisms must …

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 …

Like all microorganisms, yeast cells spend most of their natural lifetime in a reversible,
quiescent state that is primarily induced by limitation for essential nutrients. Substantial …
