This study shows that cell wall remodeling via the CWI pathway maintains cytoplasmic crowding homeostasis during yeast cell growth.

This study identifies a signaling pathway in fission yeast spores that fluidizes the cytoplasm during dormancy breaking, enabling rapid cellular responses to glucose.

This paper develops a biosensor to visualize and manipulate PKA activity in fission yeast, revealing its dynamics during cell cycle phases.

The paper investigates the role of traR gene in coordinating cargo gene activation and horizontal transfer in Tn4371 family ICEs, showing its impact on ICE excision and transfer frequency.
