Measurement of apoptosis by SCAN©, a system for counting and analysis of fluorescently labelled nuclei

November 26, 2014

This work reports on a system for analyses of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in fungal hyphae that is composed of several modules, which enable automatic quantification of nuclei with chromatin condensation and DNA strand break in large datasets according to nuclei-associated fluorescent markers.

Cell wall dynamics modulate acetic acid-induced apoptotic cell death of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

August 27, 2014

This work characterizes the involvement of MAPK signaling pathways in cell death induced by acetic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Heat shock protein 90 and calcineurin pathway inhibitors enhance the efficacy of triazoles against Scedosporium prolificans via induction of apoptosis

June 2, 2014

This article reports for the first time that posaconazole (PCZ) or itraconazolein (ICZ) in combination with the calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus or the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-demethoxy-17-(2-propenylamino) geldanamycin renders S. prolificans exquisitely sensitive to PCZ or ICZ via apoptosis.

One cell, one love: a journal for microbial research

January 5, 2014

In this inaugural article of Microbial Cell, we highlight the importance of microbial research in general and the journal's intention to serve as a publishing forum that supports and enfolds the scientific diversity in this area as it provides a unique, high-quality and universally accessible source of information and inspiration.
