What is G0 phase?
{{DISPLAYTITLE:G<sub>0</sub> phase}} The '''G<sub>0</sub> phase''' (called the '''G zero phase''') or '''resting phase''' is a period in the [[cell cycle]] in which cells are inactive. Cells enter G<sub>0</sub> phase from G<sub>1</sub> and stop [[Cell division|dividing]]. Some cells, such as [[neuron]]s, remain in G<sub>0</sub> for indefinite period. Some cells enter G<sub>0</sub> phase semi-permanently, such as some cells of the [[liver]] and [[kidney]]. Many cells do not enter G<sub>0</sub> and continue to divide throughout an [[organism]]'s life, e.g. [[Epithelium|epithelial]] cells. [[Category:Cell biology]] {{biology-stub}}
