The Cell Cycle - symposium in the NIH research festival |
|
|
Chaired by: Mary Lilly (NICHD) and Orna Cohen-Fix (NIDDK)
The regulation of proliferation and growth is fundamental to the life
cycle of all organisms. Research over the past two decades has
revealed tremendous evolutionary conservation in the molecular
mechanisms that govern cell cycle progression. This session will
focus on recent progress in understanding the regulation of various
cell cycle processes including DNA replication, mitotic progression
and cell division. In addition, we will discuss how components of
the cell cycle machinery can serve as targets for cancer therapy.
