The Cell Cycle: Principles of Control (book)

"The Cell Cycle: Principles of Control" explores how cells grow, prepare to divide, and then split into two new cells. The process is tightly regulated by various signals and checkpoints to ensure accuracy and prevent errors, such as unchecked growth that can lead to diseases like cancer. The book discusses the molecular mechanisms, like proteins and enzymes, that control each phase of the cycle—from DNA replication to division—highlighting how cells maintain healthy function and respond to internal and external cues. Overall, it provides a detailed understanding of how cell division is orchestrated and kept in balance.
