If a yeast cells finds its way from the lung to the brain via a phage or other routes, «that's very bad news,» Bartlett says, «because once it gets into the central nervous system it's in heaven.
Several research teams had reasoned that
if yeast cells could be engineered to express mannosidase, the cells wouldn't produce the mannose - rich sugar complexes that are so immunogenic to humans.
Not exact matches
If it was, scientists could extrapolate a lot of what was known about the
yeast cell cycle into the still - mysterious human
cell cycle.
If the
yeast is required to produce a different protein, the liquid is simply flushed through a filter, leaving the
cells behind.
If the
yeast's ribosomes jammed on the oxidized mRNA but were rescued by no - go decay, very little damaged mRNA would accumulate in the
cell.
And
if small RNAs influence
cell division in humans as they do in
yeast and Tetrahymena, minor disruptions in the machinery could lead to cancer.
A
yeast cell has about 6,000 genes, of which 20 percent are considered essential — that is,
if the gene is removed, the
cell dies.
If the
cells grew on culture plates, the team inferred that the human gene could fill in for its
yeast equivalent.
An interesting side note:
If you take a bunch of
yeast cells and mistreat them (for example, place them in a blender) to release the enzymes, the resulting soup will still do the sorts of things that living
yeast cells do (for example, produce carbon dioxide and alcohol from sugar) for some period of time.
By identifying
yeast, the shape of the bacteria present, mites, and
if any
cells are noted we can provide the most appropriate medication for treating your pet's ear infection.
Typically, veterinarians take hair and skin samples to look for bacterial and
yeast infections, and,
if the irritation is particularly widespread, may ask to draw a blood sample to check a white blood
cell count and prescribe appropriate antibiotics.
A sample of the ear discharge may then be viewed under a microscope to determine
if it contains bacteria, white blood
cells,
yeast, fungi, ear mites or ear mite eggs.
