Cell Cycle Regulation

This lecture covers the cell cycle, genome replication, and CDK enzyme regulation. Topics include cell division importance, phases of the cell cycle, genome replication, CDK regulation, and cell cycle checkpoints. The lecture also discusses experiments revealing cell cycle regulation through fusion, centriole function, and cell cycle coordination. Techniques like FACS and FUCCI system for cell cycle analysis are explained. The duration of the cell cycle, mitosis, and cytokinesis are detailed, along with the role of centrioles in chromosome segregation. The lecture concludes with methods to determine cell cycle distribution and the significance of CDK enzymes in cell cycle progression.
