Reactivation mechanisms can vary depending on the cell type and the context. Common mechanisms include:
Epigenetic modifications: Changes in DNA methylation or histone acetylation can lead to the reactivation of previously silenced genes. Cell signaling pathways: Activation of specific signaling pathways can trigger a dormant cell to become active again. Environmental stimuli: Changes in the microenvironment, such as oxygen levels or nutrient availability, can induce reactivation.
