This study shows that yeast cells can reverse the Start decision in response to starvation, re-importing the cell cycle inhibitor Whi5 into the nucleus and reactivating CDK.

The paper shows that glucose restriction causes yeast to reorganize mevalonate metabolism at nucleus-vacuole junctions, enhancing lipid droplet formation with liquid-crystalline properties.

The paper identifies non-canonical factors like nutrient signaling and stress response that determine cell fate in budding yeast under acute glucose removal.

The paper shows that varying transcription levels of the lncRNA IRT2 in yeast lead to opposing chromatin and transcription states, influencing gene expression and cell fate decisions during meiosis.

This paper introduces an automated algorithm for segmenting and tracking budding yeast cells in time-lapse microscopy, improving accuracy and versatility over existing methods.
