Eukaryotic cell cycle regulation
The cell cycle is a precisely regulated process essential for cell growth and division. It consists of four distinct phases: G1, S, G2, and mitosis. Each phase plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate cell division and maintaining genomic integrity. The cell cycle is governed by various checkpoints that assess DNA integrity, availability of growth…

The p53 gene
The p53 gene is a crucial gene in the human body that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and division. The gene encodes a protein called p53, which acts as a checkpoint protein to monitor the integrity of the genome and respond to DNA damage. When DNA damage is detected, p53 can activate…
