What is dormancy and Quiescence?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Quiescent cancer cells are those in the resting phase, i.e. G0. They will start growing when the general environment (nutrients esp) becomes favorable and their machinery for growth and division has recovered. Starvation without malnutrition may keep many tumours quiescent. Dormancy is when a special trigger is required for growth; it may be considered as a special case of quiescence. Clinically (and of course in the lab) this would be most applicable to Hormone dependent tumours. Quiescence is related to the words acquiesce, quiet, etc. and dormant related to sleep.
