The Cell Cycle and its Regulation

The video tutorial explains the cell cycle, detailing the stages a cell undergoes to replicate its genetic material and divide. It covers DNA arrangement, replication, and the phases of the cell cycle, including interphase and mitosis. The tutorial also discusses the regulation of the cell cycle through checkpoints and signaling molecules like cyclins and kinases. Finally, it addresses the consequences of cell cycle dysregulation, such as cancer, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes for effective cancer treatment.
