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 is an integral part of the cell cycle that prepares a cell for mitosis by producing proteins and duplicating chromosomes. Interphase was once considered the âresting stageâ of the cell cycle because microscopy could not detect movement in the cells.
