tea1 and the microtubular cytoskeleton are important for generating global spatial order within the fission yeast cell
Article Abstract:
Growing regions in a cylindrical cell can be identified and maintained by fission yeast cell. T-shaped cells and bent in the cell are produced by tea1 mutants which interfere with in the organization in the fission yeast cell. The tea1 can be found at the cell poles. Microtubules are responsible for transferring tea1 to the cell ends since tea1 is said to function as an end marker which directs the growth mechanism to the cell poles.

US biomedical research under siege
Article Abstract:
The stagnation of biomedical research funding in the US is placing great pressure on the research enterprise and a pressing the need to re-examine the overall federal budget so that the present budget level is preserved. Better dialog with the public about science and issues raised by science is fundamental for a good relationship between science and society.

CLIP170-like tip1p spatially organizes microtubular dynamics in fission yeast
Article Abstract:
Research shows that microtubules correctly orient in the intracellular space of the yeast cells as directed by tip1p protein at the distal tips of cytoplasmic microtubules. Data further reveal that in the absence of the tip1p protein, microtubules localize to the cellular cortex.
