Yeasts and filamentous fungi are extensively used as model organisms for eukaryotic genetic research, including cell cycle regulation, chromatin structure, genetic recombination and gene regulation.

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.
