Some cells just don't get the respect they deserve. In fact, most cells don't. Over 99 percent of the innumerable cells on our planet exist in a state of quiescence. Pick up a handful of soil: it ...

For almost a hundred years, geneticists have believed that the more a cell divides the more mutations it acquires. However, scientists show that quiescent cells, which do not divide, also acquire a ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Computational Biology group at the University of Luxembourg's Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biology (LCSB) participated in an international study focusing on adult stem cells in ...

The isolation and characterization of tissue-specific stem cells is fundamental to understanding organ development and homeostasis, as well as the perturbation of cellular architecture during ...

Certain chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer cells protect neighboring cancer cells by sending signals that induce resistance, according to a new study from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC ...

This image shows a postnatal neural stem cell (NSC) in the ventricular-subventricular zone. The majority of postnatal NSCs are maintained in a quiescent state, allowing for long-term maintenance.

Using the Keck I telescope, Japanese astronomers have identified a massive quiescent galaxy in a distant galaxy protocluster known as SSA22. The galaxy, designated ADF22-QG1, turns out to be the most ...
