Cdc14 is a phosphatase that can antagonize CDK/cyclin cell-cycle functions. New insights from Caenorhabditis elegans show that CDC-14 is required to prevent cell-cycle entry during extended periods of developmentally regulated quiescence, and also clarify its role in creating the central mitotic spindle during anaphase.
