INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Chinese researchers have decoded the metabolic cycle of yeast using mathematical analysis, revealing striking parallels with the ancient
Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
The study, led by Professor Li Lei from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, redefines the understanding of metabolic phases in this single-celled eukaryote – one of the smallest model organisms
used in the study of molecular life mechanisms.
While yeast metabolism has long been...
