Description:
〈p〉Rapidly proliferating cells growing by glucose fermentation must first transport glucose into the cell. Both budding yeast and human tumor cells utilize members of a conserved family of glucose transporters. In this issue of 〈i〉The EMBO Journal〈/i〉, Stahl 〈i〉et al〈/i〉 (2019) reveal that budding yeast cells confer a growth advantage to their daughters using a novel mechanism, the asymmetric distribution to the daughter cell of the mRNA for a specific glucose transporter.〈/p〉
