Settled more than three centuries ago by French Huguenots, Franschhoek means the French corner. Even though the settlers soon took up Dutch as their language, the link to France, like the area itself, lay quiescent but never quite dead.
Satellite cells are muscle-specific stem cells that lie quiescent beneath the basal lamina of adult myofibers until needed for muscle repair.
Histoblasts are specified in the embryo and lie quiescent throughout larval development (Guerra et al., 1973; Simcox et al., 1991).
These cells normally lie in a quiescent state but can reenter the cell cycle to proliferate and differentiate into functional skeletal muscle in response to injury [ 49].
A key feature of maintaining viability in the hypoxic quiescent state lies in the ability to maintain an energized membrane and in the process of synthesizing ATP through the F0F1 ATP synthase.
Osteoblasts and osteoid differentiate the bone forming surfaces while osteoclasts lie at the bone resorbing surfaces; quiescent or resting surface is liberated of both osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
The M-cadherin or Pax-7-positive cells lying at the periphery of normal myofibers, representing quiescent satellite cells, did not contain the enzymatic activity, in contrast to myonuclei (Fig. 4a g, see also inset in Fig. 1h).
The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate; females lay an average of four egg clutches and then become quiescent, producing no eggs for two to three years.
The significance of CDK11 as the proposed therapeutic target lies in the possibility of affecting both mitotically cycling and noncycling or quiescent malignant cells because the expression and functions of CDK11 isoforms affect both proliferating and quiescent cells.
From June on to November it lies hot, still, and unbearable, sick with violent unrelieving storms; then on until April, chill, quiescent, drinking its scant rain and scanter snows; from April to the hot season again, blossoming, radiant and seductive".
