Division potential
upin human cells1
histones improve division potential in human cells.
“reducing the speed of RNA polymerase II by overexpressing histone components, to counter age-associated changes in nucleosome positioning, also extended lifespan in flies and the division potential of human cells.”

histones are associated with cell cycle regulation in yeast.
“multiple histone amino acids, likely affecting nucleosome structure and a wide range of chromatin-associated processes, can promote or inhibit quiescence entry.”
