The p53 dial shifts senescence to quiescence. (Left) Stress stimuli that activate a medium intensity p53 response produce cell cycle arrest without inhibiting mTOR, and the final outcome is senescence. (Right) High activation of p53 not only inhibits the cell cycle but also mTOR, and the final outcome is quiescence.
