This geological evidence likely indicates a period of quiescence in Deccan volcanism prior to the Chicxulub impact, which, says Richards, «gave this thing a shake,» thus mobilizing a huge amount of magma over a short period of time. (sciencedaily.com)
Biologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have now discovered that the phases of quiescence in the Drosophila fruit fly central nervous system are controlled by the Hippo signaling pathway. (sciencedaily.com)
When cells are arrested by a combination of extracellular signals, quiescence program gene expression changes appear after only an overnight arrest. (journals.plos.org)
