Researchers from the University of Groningen, headed by Dr Liesbeth Veenhoff and Prof. Bert Poolman, have discovered a new biological mechanism, which ensures that new proteins are created exactly where they are needed in a cell. The research was conducted using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). The mechanism takes effect when cells divide, a process that is asymmetrical in yeast. The research was published in Nature Cell Biology...
