The Cell-Division Cycle and Cancer
MB&B 575 FA

This course will cover a broad range of topics that are related to the process of cell division. We will discuss how the cell cycle is executed and regulated in a variety of eukaryotic systems. Major consideration will be applied to discussions of cancer and the defects in cell-division regulation that underlie this disease. Some of the topics include: growth factors, signaling pathways, apoptosis, cyclin-dependent kinases as cell-cycle regulators, transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of cell cycle genes, DNA replication, DNA damage checkpoints, and tumor suppressors.
