Remodeling Your Way out of Cell Cycle.

Throughout development, proliferative progenitors lose their mitotic potential, exit the cell cycle, and differentiate. In this issue, Ruijtenberg and van den Heuvel identify an important lineage-specific role for a SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that collaborates with core cell-cycle regulators to promote cell-cycle exit and terminal muscle cell differentiation.
