{{short description|Cell that multiplies only when needed}}{{Unreferenced|date=October 2025}} In cellular biology, '''stable cells''' are cells that multiply only when needed. They spend most of the time in the quiescent G<sub>0</sub> phase of the cell cycle but can be stimulated to enter the cell cycle when needed. Examples include the liver, the proximal tubules of the kidney and endocrine glands.
