Terminally Differentiated Cell
Terminally differentiated cells are highly specialized cells that have undergone a differentiation program and generally withdraw permanently from productive cell division. This article explains the molecular mechanisms of terminal differentiation, its relationship with cell-cycle exit, and the differences between terminal differentiation, quiescence, and cellular senescence.
Cyclin D
D-type cyclins (or cyclin D)* are active in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Their expression is induced by…
Restriction Point (R)
Growth factor/mitogenic signaling is required for G1 phase progress. Withdrawal of growth factors/mitogens from cell culture can arrest the cells…
G1 phase
The G1 phase begins with the generation of daughter cells following cytokinesis and ends when daughter cells are ready to…
G0 phase
The G0 phase is a reversible state of cellular dormancy where cells exit the cell cycle. Discover how quiescence protects stem cells, its role in aging, and the mechanisms that regulate this vital cellular state.
