The term ‘cell-cycle checkpoint’ refers to mechanisms by ... So, there should be advantages for a eukaryotic cell to transiently halt progression through the cell cycle after DNA damage ...

During each phase, the cell undergoes a series of events that prepare it for the next phase. Cell cycle checkpoints are control mechanisms that ensure that the cell cycle proceeds in a timely and ...

This study looked at the G2/M checkpoint, a specific point in the cell cycle that determines if the cell should temporarily halt its march toward division, allowing more time for the damage to be ...

The p53 gene is extremely important in cell biology as its role is to regulate the cell cycle and halt the formation ... the DNA damage‐dependent G2‐checkpoint and completed apoptosis within ...

cause the induction of p53 protein and cell cycle disruption. This process is crucial to understand fundamental biological processes and the emergence of various diseases. Now, scientists at the ...

Ph.D., and Robert Whitaker have found a direct link between the protein MCL1 -- a member of the large BCL2 protein family known as the gatekeepers of apoptosis -- and a cell-cycle checkpoint ...
