Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), Imperial College London and UCL Genetics Institute have created ...

When quiescent neural stem cells in the fruit fly larval brain are activated, they can generate new neurons. In the photo, the nucleus of quiescent neural stem cells is labelled by a marker of neural ...

Imperial College London and UCL Genetics Institute have created a detailed map of cells within breast tumors and identified distinct neighborhoods of proliferating and dormant cells.

Some areas of the adult brain contain quiescent, or dormant, neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is ...

The sleep of cancer cells may be more fitful than that of normal cells. Consequently, cancer cells may be more easily roused than normal cells from quiescence, a sort of slumbering state that cancer ...
