Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • The cell cycle is a fundamental biological process governed by intricate regulatory mechanisms.
  • These mechanisms integrate external and internal signals, dictating cell fate decisions like proliferation, arrest, repair, or apoptosis.
  • Dysregulation of cell cycle control is a hallmark of cancer, involving oncogenes and tumor suppressors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the regulatory networks controlling cell cycle progression.
  • To understand how disruptions in these pathways contribute to aberrant cell proliferation and genetic instability in cancer.
  • To provide insights for the development of novel anticancer therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of molecular pathways governing cell cycle phases.
