Cell adhesion is a key feature in the regulation of many biological processes. In the budding
yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Flo11p is the major adhesion molecule that controls …

In the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, nutrient limitation induces a MAPK pathway that
regulates filamentous growth and biofilm/mat formation. How nutrient levels feed into the …

Sphingolipids are recognized as signaling mediators in a growing number of pathways, and
represent potential targets to address many diseases. The study of sphingolipid signaling in …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways control the response to intrinsic and
extrinsic stimuli. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cells undergo filamentous …
