Molecular Biology of Aging. MEC1 -dependent relocalization of the Sir3 silencing protein from telomeres to DNA double strand breaks. Stationary phase accelerates the aging program of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast gene may hold key to universal aging mechanism -MIT biologists demonstrate rapid aging process in yeast cells. MIT press release.
Biologists identify aging mechanism in yeast cells.
Mechanisms of silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The shuffling of a mortal coil. Telomeres, the nucleolus and aging.
