Stem cell quiescence preserves the cell reservoir by minimizing cell division over extended periods of time. Self-renewal of quiescent stem cells (SCs) requires the reentry into the cell cycle. In ...

Since quiescent cells appear to be ‘asleep’ it is easy to think of quiescence as a passive state of inactivity. However, as Dr. Alison Greenlaw, former graduate student in the Tsukiyama lab and author ...

Muscle stem cells, the reserve stem cell in the skeletal muscles, are responsible for muscle repair after damage. They are the 'regenerative medicine' to cure muscle diseases and muscle damages. In a ...

They live in bread dough. They die in your oven. In the grocery store, where you buy them, they stand in small glass jars, dormant, waiting to be rehydrated so they can eat sugar and form bubbles in ...

A team of researchers has reported a novel encapsulation approach to identify dormant cancer cells and maintain them in a quiescent state. A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota-Twin ...

Mammalian cells have two fundamentally different states, proliferative and quiescent, but our understanding of how and why cells switch between these states is limited. We previously showed that ...

Cells respond to cellular stress by forming stress granules, molecular condensates containing non-translating messenger ribonucleoproteins. Stress granules form during chemotherapy and promote cell ...
