Publisher's Synopsis
Research into the cell cycle has progressed rapidly in recent years on many fronts, using many different organisms, and is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biology. 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 monograph presents in detail the current scientific understanding of cell cycle control.
