The paper shows Mi-2 and E93 coordinate cell cycle exit with terminal differentiation by decommissioning enhancers at key genes in Drosophila.

The paper shows that growth factor signaling promotes cell proliferation by inducing tRNAs that decode rare codons, enhancing translation of DNA replication factors.

This study shows enhancer decommissioning silences cell cycle genes in long-lived postmitotic Drosophila tissues and conserved principles in mammalian retina.

The paper shows that chromatin accessibility changes at cell cycle genes enforce cell cycle exit during terminal differentiation in Drosophila wing cells, independent of DREAM complex function.

The paper examines how chromatin organization changes during cell cycle exit in Drosophila wing cells, finding that heterochromatin clustering is a consequence of cell cycle exit, not differentiation.
