New sections on Stem Cells – their renewal and regulation, and Updated References for the whole book.
The Cell Cycle is an account of the mechanisms that control cell division, beginning
with a description of the phases and main events of the cell cycle and the main model organisms
in cell-cycle analysis. Later chapters focus on the molecules and mechanism of the cell-cycle
control system, including the cyclin-dependent kinase family of protein kinases, the cyclins that
activate them and the signaling molecules that regulate them, and discuss cell-cycle control in
development and the failure of controls in cancer.
