Effect of loss of ciliogenesis on myoblast quiescence

Quiescence is an actively maintained state of the cell cycle;aberrations in which can result in severe consequencces for development and tissue homeostasis. Primary cilia are signaling centres derived from the centrosome which are associated with quiescence.Using a mouse skeletal myoblast cell culture system that can be induced to exit the cell cycle reversibly into quiescence or irreversibly into differentiation, we studied the effect of loss of ciliogenesis on quiescence.
