A new piece of scientific research published in September in The Embo Journal shows that yeast cells communicate with each other when predicting a shortage of nutrients. Shin Ohsawa and his collaborators at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science at the University of Tokyo made this discovery. For this type of yeast, the goal of communicating is to use less favourable nutrients if they foresee a shortage of their favourite food, as a strategy of survival.
