Starve-Feed Cycles Direct Quiescence to Proliferation Transitions in Drosophila Follicle Stem Cells via Transcriptional Regulation

Stem cell quiescence is a reversible state in which cells temporarily exit the cell cycle but remain poised to re-enter, on cue. Robust protection of the balance between stem cell quiescence and proliferation (Q->P) is critical for long-term tissue health. Proliferation without p...
