Jutta Ellermann is a MSK fellowship trained Board Certified Radiologist with 10 years of clinical practice at the University of Minnesota with a special focus on MSK imaging research. Her areas of research interest include:
â in cells capable of dividing, the period between cell divisions is called interphase â cells spend most of their time in interphase because this is the phase where they perform their functions (obtaining energy, synthesizing products, repair damage, fight disease, duplicate their genetic material and get ready for division)
Interphase. G0. Resting phase (also called the quiescent or dormant phase). 1  The cell performs all of its normal functions but is not preparing to divide. 2  Some cells divide often and either are in G 0 for a short amount of time or skip G 0. 3  Other cells do not divide very often and are in the G 0 phase for many years.
