The Cell Cycle and Its Regulation
The cell cycle is a series of events that occur as a cell grows and divides into two daughter cells. It can be divided into two main stages: interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase can be further divided into three stages: G1, S, and G2. During interphase, the cell grows and carries out necessary biosynthetic…

Apoptosis – Molecular Basis
Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is a crucial process in multicellular organisms that plays a key role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and responding to cellular stress and damage. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to various diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity. The molecular basis of apoptosis involves two main pathways: the extrinsic pathway, which…

Regulation of the Cell Cycle
he cell cycle is a crucial process in the growth and development of multicellular organisms, and its regulation is essential for maintaining proper cell function. Dysregulation of the cell cycle can lead to various diseases, including cancer, where cells divide uncontrollably. The regulation of the cell cycle is a complex process that involves a delicate…

Oncogenes and Tumor suppressor genes
The molecular genetics of cancer involves the study of the genetic and molecular changes that occur in cells as they become cancerous. This field of study has led to the identification of two important classes of genes involved in the development of cancer: oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes promote cell growth and proliferation, while…

Cancer and cell cycle
The article explains the role of the cell cycle in the development of cancer. The cell cycle is a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides into two daughter cells. Disruption in the regulation of the cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled growth and proliferation of cells, causing cancer.…
