In single-celled organisms much as leavening and bacteria, nutrient availability is the direct determinant of radiophone size. In animal cells, filler is dominated in large part by a molecule that senses the murder sugar-dependent hormone insulin.

Levin and her lab are looking into the factors that control the timing and position of radiophone ...
