Regulation of Cell Growth and Division in Eukaryotic Cells

Bangi A

Cell growth and division are fundamental processes in eukaryotic cells, tightly regulated to maintain tissue homeostasis and support organismal development. This complex and highly orchestrated series of events involves cell cycle progression, DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Central to this regulation are various checkpoints and molecular mechanisms that ensure fidelity and prevent aberrant cell division, which can lead to diseases such as cancer. This abstract provides an overview of key concepts related to cell growth and division. It highlights the importance of precise regulatory mechanisms to ensure proper cell division and maintain organismal health. Further exploration of these mechanisms is essential for understanding fundamental biological processes and developing therapeutic strategies for diseases related to cell growth and division dysregulation.
