| Abstract: |
| Robust cell polarity is critical for cell survival and normal tissue development. Budding yeast, which undergoes polarized growth during budding and mating, has been an excellent model system to study cell polarization. Here we will use budding yeast models to discuss several mechanisms of cell polarization. Also, we will discuss a budding yeast population model to study how budding and mating are involved in colony formation. Our results provide a mathematical framework to study cell polarization in other multicellular organisms. |
