Cell Proliferation
The cell cycle refers to the sequence of events occurring throughout a typical cell’s life. In eukaryotic cells, the somatic cell cycle has two…
The cell cycle occurs over approximately 24 hours (in a typical human cell) and in two distinct stages: interphase, which includes three phases of…
The cell cycle is an organized set of events that leads the cell to divide into two daughter cells, each containing chromosomes identical to the…
Mitotic cell division results in daughter cells that exactly resemble the parent cell. However, errors in the DNA replication or distribution of…
The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be…
The cell cycle is a series of events leading to DNA duplication followed by the division of cell content to form two daughter cells. The cell cycle…
Checkpoints throughout the cell cycle serve as safeguards and gatekeepers, allowing the cell cycle to progress in favorable conditions and slow or…
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell…
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while…
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost…
Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double…
Although mitochondria possess their own transcriptional machinery, merely 1% of mitochondrial proteins are synthesized inside the organelle. The…
In response to cellular stress or damage, proliferating cells can induce a specific program that initiates a state of long-term cell-cycle arrest,…
Live cell time-lapse imaging is an important tool in cell biology that provides insight into cellular processes that might otherwise be overlooked,…
