Abstract:"In this study, [investigators] measure the vacuole-cell size scaling trends in budding yeast using optical microscopy and a novel, to [their] knowledge, image analysis algorithm." |
| Comments |
p.1990 left column 2nd paragraph:"Thus, both the reported enlargement of the vacuole and the fusion of vacuoles seen in rapamycin-treated cells may be a natural consequence of scaling. To test this possibility, vacuole size was measured in cells that were treated with rapamycin for 4 h. Untreated cells have an average cell size of 86±2µm^3, and rapamycin treated cells arrest and grow to a larger average size of
130±7µm^3 (p < 0.0001, Student’s t-test)." |
