Quiescence in is a reversible G crucial for long-term survival under nutrient-deprived conditions. During quiescence, the genome is hypoacetylated and chromatin undergoes significant compaction. However, the 3D structure of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus in this state is not well understood.

Budding yeast is a powerful model for studying cellular quiescence. In this work, we demonstrate that the pH of the YPD media strongly affects quiescence entry efficiency in Adjusting the initial media pH to 5.

Objective: To establish the relationship between patterns of BP use and the risk of AFF and hip fractures. Other potential risk factors for AFF were also examined.
Quiescence is a reversible G state essential for differentiation, regeneration, stem-cell renewal, and immune cell activation. Necessary for long-term survival, quiescent chromatin is compact, hypoacetylated, and transcriptionally inactive. How transcription activates upon cell-cycle re-entry is undefined.
