New sections on Stem Cells – their renewal and regulation, and Updated References for the whole book.
The Cell Cycle is an account of the mechanisms that control cell division, beginning
with a description of the phases and main events of the cell cycle and the main model organisms
in cell-cycle analysis. Later chapters focus on the molecules and mechanism of the cell-cycle
control system, including the cyclin-dependent kinase family of protein kinases, the cyclins that
activate them and the signaling molecules that regulate them, and discuss cell-cycle control in
development and the failure of controls in cancer.

| About the author of The Cell Cycle |
David O Morgan graduated in animal physiology from the University of Calgary in 1980 and then
did his doctoral and postdoctoral work in endocrinology with Richard A Roth and William J Rutter, and
in virology with Harold Varmus at the University of California, San Francisco, where he is now a
Professor in the Departments of Physiology and Biochemistry & Biophysics. His research focus is on
the events of the cell cycle. He has received praise (and an occasional award) for his teaching of
cardiovascular physiology to medical students and cell biology and biochemistry to PhD students.
