Zusammenfassung:A recent study assessed the impact of cell size on various cell properties. Oversized yeast cells display slow cell division, cytoplasmic dilution, and transcriptomic and proteomic alterations. It highlights commonalities between aging yeast and mammalian cells, suggesting the existence of a range of DNA content: cell volume ratio ensuring optimal function.
