    GlossaryCell Cycle Regulation

    ensures proper timing and accuracy of cell division

    Cell cycle regulation refers to the complex series of checks and balances that control the timing and progression of cell division. This process ensures that cells divide correctly and at the right time, preventing errors that could lead to issues like cancer or tissue malfunction. Key players in this regulation include proteins like cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which work together to advance cells through different stages of the cell cycle.
