    Glossary Stem Cell Quiescence

    state where stem cells remain inactive to preserve function

    Stem cell quiescence, also known as stem cell dormancy, refers to a state in which stem cells remain inactive or non-dividing. This state helps protect the stem cells from exhaustion and damage, ensuring they can be activated when needed for tissue repair or regeneration. Quiescent stem cells are crucial for maintaining long-term tissue health and preventing premature aging or diseases like cancer.
