Cell Cycle Regulation Process

Definition 1

Control of the rate or manner of the periodic biochemical and structural events occurring during proliferation of cells; the cycle is divided into periods called: G0, Gap1 (G1), synthesis (S1), Gap2 (G2), and mitosis (M). The period runs from one division to the next. (NCI Thesaurus)

Definition 2

Any process that controls the series of events by which a cell goes through the cell cycle. During the cell cycle, a cell makes a copy of its DNA and other contents, and divides in two. When cell cycle regulation doesn't happen correctly, cells may divide in an uncontrolled way, and diseases such as cancer can occur. (NCI Dictionary)
