Treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with cigarette smoke extract causes vacuolar fragmentation to combat cigarette smoke-induced cellular toxicity

This study shows that cigarette smoke extract induces vacuolar fragmentation in yeast to combat oxidative stress and misfolded proteins, but excessive fragmentation leads to cellular toxicity.

Cigarette smoke impairs the endocytotic process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

This study shows that cigarette smoke extract impairs endocytosis in yeast by disrupting protein recruitment, actin morphology, and PI4,5P2 levels.
