A comprehensive, cross-species study of how #quiescent cells maintain #centromere identity and proliferative capacity through prolonged dormancy in stark contrast to terminally differentiated cells. Beautiful work @ZakSwartz and @iaincheeseman !

Fantastic piece from Oceane Marescal and @iaincheeseman on the ubiquitous yet mysterious cell cycle state known as quiescence! This review captures our current understanding across contexts and highlights the many fundamental and fascinating unknowns.

I don't know of anyone mentally or physically stronger than my cousin Kyle, who by age 12 had become a two-time cancer survivor. A heartwarming reminder of the lifetimes that can be saved by commitments to basic research, blood drives, and beyond.
