Cell Cycle Regulation
Normal Cell Cycle
Different cyclin/CDK combinations signal cell activities, including DNA replication, protein synthesis, and nuclear division throughout the cell cycle.

2. Quality Control Checkpoints

Cell Cycle Regulation
Quality Control Checkpoints
The cell cycle has built-in checkpoints that monitor the cycle and can stop it if something goes wrong.
Spindle checkpoints also have been identified in mitosis.

3. Abnormal Cell Cycle: Cancer

Cell Cycle Regulation
Abnormal Cell Cycle: Cancer
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
Cancer cells can kill an organism by crowding out normal
cells, resulting in the loss of tissue function.

Cell Cycle Regulation
Causes of Cancer
The changes that occur in the regulation of cell growth and division of cancer cells are due to mutations.
Various environmental factors can affect the occurrence of cancer cells.

5. Apoptosis Programmed cell death

Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
Cells going through apoptosis actually shrink and shrivel in a controlled process.

Stem Cells
Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells when under the right conditions

7. Cellular Reproduction
Cell Cycle Regulation
Embryonic Stem Cells
After fertilization, the resulting mass of cells divides repeatedly until there are about –150 cells. These cells have not become specialized.

8. Cellular Reproduction

Adult Stem Cells
Found in various tissues in the body and might be used to maintain and repair the same kind of tissue
Less controversial because the adult stem cells can be obtained with the consent of their donor
