Remodeling Your Way out of Cell Cycle

Cell. 2015 Jul 16;162(2):237-238. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2015.06.050.

Abstract

Throughout development, proliferative progenitors lose their mitotic potential, exit the cell cycle, and differentiate. In this issue, Ruijtenberg and van den Heuvel identify an important lineage-specific role for a SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that collaborates with core cell-cycle regulators to promote cell-cycle exit and terminal muscle cell differentiation.
