Cell Cycle and Its Regulation
The cell cycle is a fundamental process that is essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of all living organisms. It is a series of events that a cell undergoes to replicate and divide into two daughter cells. The cell cycle can be divided into two main stages: interphase and mitosis. Interphase is the period…

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…

Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a rare type of cancer that affects the retina of the eye and is caused by mutations in the retinoblastoma (RB) gene. The RB gene plays a critical role in the regulation of cell growth and division, acting as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the activity of other proteins that are important for…

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…
