Cell Cycle Control

By D.M. Glover

Book Overview

What makes a cell begin the complicated process of cell division? How does it stop? What happens when things go wrong? The use of developing technologies has revealed the extraordinary degree to which cell cycle control mechanisms have been conserved through eukaryotic evolution. This is the first book to cover the cell cycle field in the wake of groundbreaking research from the past five years. A historical look at cell cycle findings places this new knowledge into perspective and demonstrates the universality of cell cycle control, from the evolutionary process to cancer research and mitotic regulation. Cell cycle research is the most exciting area in contemporary biology, and anyone either interested or involved in the cell cycle field will find this an invaluable study.
