Interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) is crucial in neuroepithelial progenitor cells, influencing the organization of cell division in neural development. CDK inhibitors like the INK4 and Cip/Kip families regulate the cell cycle, acting as tumor suppressors and preventing neurodegeneration. Disruptions in cell cycle control can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer, highlighting the importance of understanding these mechanisms for therapeutic advancements.

INM is a cellular behavior in neuroepithelial progenitor cells where the nucleus moves between the apical and basal surfaces of the cell in coordination with the cell cycle
Spatial and temporal organization of cell division
INM is critical for ensuring that cells divide in the correct location and at the appropriate time for normal tissue development
Regulation of cell cycle and tissue differentiation
INM is actively regulated and essential for the proper layering and differentiation of neural tissues
INM is a characteristic behavior of neuroepithelial progenitor cells that ensures the accurate replication and segregation of DNA, maintaining genomic stability
CDK inhibitors are crucial elements in the regulation of the cell cycle that prevent the cell from proceeding to the next phase until certain conditions are met
INK4 family
The INK4 family, including p16^INK4a and p15^INK4b, plays a role in cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence, and apoptosis
Cip/Kip family
The Cip/Kip family, such as p21^Cip1, p27^Kip1, and p57^Kip2, plays a role in preventing uncontrolled cell proliferation and acts as tumor suppressors
CDK inhibitors are crucial for maintaining genomic integrity and preventing uncontrolled cell proliferation, which is a hallmark of cancer
Cell cycle disruptions refer to abnormalities in the highly regulated process of cell division that can lead to neuronal apoptosis
Abnormal re-entry of post-mitotic neurons into the cell cycle has been associated with pathological conditions, including Alzheimer's disease
Inappropriate activation of cell cycle proteins in neurons can lead to their death, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases
CDKs are fundamental to the control of the cell cycle, orchestrating the orderly progression of cells through its various phases
CDKs are activated by binding to specific cyclins and play a crucial role in key transitions in the cell cycle
The precise timing and sequence of CDK activation are crucial for maintaining genomic stability and preventing cell cycle disruptions
