Aging and the survival of quiescent and non-quiescent cells in yeast stationary-phase cultures.

Abstract excerpt

In this chapter, we argue that with careful attention to cell types in stationary-phase cultures of the yeast, S. cerevisiae provide an excellent model system for aging studies and hold much promise in pinpointing the set of causal genes and mechanisms driving aging. Importantly, a more detailed understanding of aging in this single celled organism will also shed light on aging in tissue-complex model organisms...
