Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals distinct senotypes and a quiescence-senescence continuum at the transcriptome level following chemotherapy

Brianna Fernandez, Victor J. Passanisi, Humza M. Ashraf, Sabrina L. Spencer

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing and time-lapse imaging to distinguish quiescence and senescence after chemotherapy, revealing a continuum of cell-cycle withdrawal.

MAPK and mTORC1 signaling converge on Cyclin D to enable cell-cycle re-entry in melanoma persister cells

Varuna Nangia, Humza M. Ashraf, Nasreen C. Marikar, Victor J. Passanisi, R. Christopher, Sabrina L. Spencer

The paper identifies Cyclin D1 accumulation as a critical bottleneck for cell-cycle re-entry in drug-treated melanoma cells, driven by MAPK and mTORC1 signaling integration.
