Do Cancer Cells Have Tightly Monitored Cell Cycle Checkpoints? Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor. Where

How Is Cell Cycle Regulated?

How Is Cell Cycle Regulated? The cell cycle is controlled by a number of protein-controlled feedback processes. Two types of proteins involved in the control of the cell cycle are kinases and cyclins. Cyclins activate kinases by binding to them, specifically they activate cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK). What is cell cycle regulation? Listen to pronunciation. (sel-SY-kul
