    Slowest possible replicative life at frigid temperatures for yeast

    Determining whether life can progress arbitrarily slowly may reveal fundamental barriers to staying out of thermal equilibrium for living systems. By monitoring budding yeast’s slowed-down life at frigid tempe...

    Altruistic defence

    A charitable deed by a few cells in a bacterial culture can help the rest of that population survive in the presence of antibiotics. This finding can aid further research into a major problem in public health.

    Growth landscape formed by perception and import of glucose in yeast

    An important challenge in systems biology is to quantitatively describe microbial growth using a few measurable parameters that capture the essence of this complex phenomenon. Two key events at the cell membra...

    Snowdrift game dynamics and facultative cheating in yeast

    Yeast secrete invertase to break down sucrose into monosaccharides that they can metabolize. Gore et al. show that 99% of the monosaccharides diffuse away to where they can be used by other yeast cells, making th...
