Age-specific fractionation of Saccharomyces using millifluidic systems
Advances in biotechnology | Yeast cells, Saccharomyces yeasts among others, are essential in biotechnological research. However, research is nowadays also directed to the question how the age of a cell has an influence on its function. Using up-to-date techniques, yeast cells can be sorted according to age. This innovative method reveals fascinating insights into age-related changes in yeast metabolism and gene activity of yeasts.
