the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity—that is, the asymmetrical partitioning of cellular materials—is fundamental to stem-cell renewal and development. the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a leading model organism for studying cell polarity. yeast cell polarity is intimately connected to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, which guides secretion towards the budding...
