The phrase "a state of cell" is not correct in written English.
It seems to be an incomplete or incorrect expression, possibly intended to refer to "a state of a cell" or "cell state."
Example: "The research focused on understanding the state of a cell during the process of division."
Alternatives: "condition of a cell" or "cellular state."
Intriguingly, the Twist/Cut-positive cells faintly expressed also Ubx, indicating that they are in a state of cell fate transition.
From previous studies in mice, senescence, a state of cell cycle arrest, may moderate tumour progression through upregulation of antitumour immune responses.
Up to 80% of the irradiated cells entered a state of cell cycle withdrawal within 12 days that, in contrast to quiescence, was accompanied by high levels of Gadd45 expression, permanent γH2AX foci, and high levels of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-βgal), a hallmark of cellular senescence (Dimri et al., 1995; Campisi, 2011).
Cellular senescence is a state of cell cycle arrest initiated by various stimuli such as telomere shortening, stress factors (oncogenes), or chemical moieties (e.g., chemotherapies) 6. Due to the growth repression feature, cellular senescence is widely regarded as a tumor suppressor mechanism 7.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.10832.002 Stem cells in adult tissues were once thought to exist primarily in a state of cell-cycle quiescence.
Many types of adult stem cells exist in a state of cell-cycle quiescence, yet it has remained unclear whether quiescence plays a role in maintaining the stem cell fate.
If the environment is unfavourable of cell division, the cell can enter G0 phase, a state of prolonged cell cycle arrest.
Cellular senescence, which is associated with aging, is a process by which cells enter a state of permanent cell cycle arrest, therefore constituting a potent tumor suppressive mechanism.
If DNA damage is irreparable or cannot be repaired in time, DNA damage checkpoints induce cell death or senescence, a state of permanent cell cycle arrest [21,22].
Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell growth arrest that occurs when cells experience potentially oncogenic stress.
In cell culture, cellular senescence is usually defined as a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest [ 1, 2].
