Cell Cycle Overview
The cell cycle, a fundamental process governing the growth and reproduction of cells, serves as the cornerstone of cellular biology. In its essence, the cell cycle orchestrates a series of meticulously regulated events that culminate in the duplication and division of a parent cell into two daughter cells. From its inception during cell birth to its culmination in cell division, the cell cycle navigates through distinct phases, each characterized by specific molecular mechanisms and checkpoints. As we embark on this overview of the cell cycle, we delve into its intricate machinery, exploring its significance in cellular homeostasis and the broader landscape of biological processes.
