Two of them have died, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said Wednesday. CRE was a contributing factor in the deaths, but the exact cause of the deaths wasn't immediately disclosed, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The interphase, or growth, period of the eukaryotic cell cycle (indicated by I in the figure at left below) alternates with mitosis (M in the figure). It's the time when the cell isn't undergoing division.
Cell Cycle: Cells go through phases or a cell cycle during their life before they divide to form new cells. The cell cycle includes 2 main parts --- interphase, and cell division. Cell division includes mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). Interphase is the longest part of a cell's life cycle and is called the resting stage because the cell isn't dividing.
