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.

The paper shows ethanol stress causes vacuole unlobing via Fab1-mediated phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate regulation, essential for ethanol tolerance.

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