The Cell Cycle A eukaryotic cell cannot divide into two‚ the two into four‚ etc. unless two processes alternate: doubling of its genome (DNA) in S phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle; halving of that genome during mitosis (M phase). The period between M and S is called G1; that between S and M is G2. So‚ the cell cycle consists of: G1 = growth and preparation of the chromosomes for replication; S = synthesis of DNA [see DNA Replication] and duplication of the centrosome; G2

target of those radicals in the cellular system is random. In live cells‚ DNA‚ protein and lipid are targets for the free radical’s invasion. Damaging any of those vital macromolecules in live cell affects the physiology of the cell and may lead to apoptosis and cell death. Cell injury caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS)‚ radicals such as hydroxyl radical (OH∙) and the nonradicals like hydrogen peroxide H2O2‚ appears to be a measure contributor for many aging diseases such as cancer‚ diabetes‚ cardiovascular

four phases: G1‚ S‚ G2‚ and M. During the G1 phase‚ RNAs are produced‚ proteins are synthesized and through the P53 gene (also known as the “Guardian of the Genome”)‚ cells are checked for damage and those that are found are forced to go through apoptosis where the cells are forced to “commit suicide” to prevent replication. Through the S phase‚ the DNA is duplicated and in the G2 phase‚ proteins are synthesized once more and the P53 gene checks again for mutations in the DNA. Finally during the M

What causes cancer? Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth‚ division‚ and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis‚ and when this process breaks down‚ cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells‚ cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control. What are the symptoms of cancer? Cancer

Pathophysiology Main article: Carcinogenesis Cancers are caused by a series of mutations. Each mutation alters the behavior of the cell somewhat. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of failure of regulation of tissue growth. In order for a normal cell to transform into a cancer cell‚ the genes which regulate cell growth and differentiation must be altered.[40] The affected genes are divided into two broad categories. Oncogenes are genes which promote cell growth and reproduction. Tumor suppressor

stop growing when they hear signals from the nearby cells‚ in contrast‚ cancer cells do not respond to these signals. When healthy cells get old or damaged they either get repaired or die. On the other hand‚ cancer cells do not repair or undergo apoptosis. Healthy cells have a special function to perform‚ however‚ cancer cells have no specialized function. Cancer cells do not do anything that benefits

The Mitochondrion The cell is the most basic unit of life. The cell serves as the place for processes such as cellular respiration‚ metabolism and energy production in the form of ATP‚ or adenosine triphosphate. Many organelles—small structures that help to carry out the daily operations of the cell‚ inhabit the cell such as the Golgi complex‚ the endoplasmic reticulum‚ the nucleus‚ or brain of the cell‚ and lysosomes. An organelle that is the place where most of the cell’s energy is generated is
