TORONTO, ON – When NASA's final space shuttle mission launches today it will carry four astronauts and some unusual passengers – yeast cell growth experiments developed by Canadian researchers at the ...

How much does life weigh? It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast cells tip the scales at about 100 picograms each. A single E. coli bacterium ...

A multi-disciplinary team has discovered and characterized a new mechanism that a simple yeast cell uses to acquire its shape. Working with light to activate processes within genetically modified ...

Often in science a novel set of experiments comes along that forces researchers to abandon old models in exchange for new ones that better fit their observations. This is the case in a new Nature ...

Can active dry yeast do more than rise dough? In this kitchen experiment, we explore its effect on sausage—fermentation, texture, and taste. Whether you're a curious cook or a DIY charcuterie fan, ...
