Exploring the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells, this overview highlights the importance of checkpoints, cyclins, and CDKs in regulating cell division. It delves into how these mechanisms ensure the accuracy of DNA replication and chromosome segregation, and their role in preventing cancer by controlling unchecked cell proliferation. Understanding these processes is key to developing targeted cancer therapies.
