Boosting buds: The movie shows how a cell of yeast (size: 0.005 mm) grows within four hours: the mother cell boosts a bud. After having reached a certain size it splits and boosts another bud (daughter bud). The use of yeast simplifies the study of the complex process of cell splitting. This enhances the understanding of defects in cell splitting which can cause diseases like cancer.
