Cell cycle checkpoints: methods and protocols
As it is well known at the end of each cell cycle step there are checkpoints to verify that DNA duplication and segregation (among other events) met every requirements before the cell is allowed to proceed to the next step.

Cell cycle checkpoints in Caenorhabditis elegans: the 14-3-3 gene par-5 is required for germline development and DNA damage response / Checkpoints del ciclo celular en Caenorhabditis elegans: el gen 14-3-3, par-5, es necesario para el desarrollo y respuesta al daño genómico de la línea germinal [PDF]
[eng] 14-3-3 proteins have been extensively studied from yeast to mammals, and are associated with multiple roles ranging from fundamental processes such as cell cycle, apoptosis and stress response to diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer ...

Cell Cycle Regulation by Checkpoints [PDF]
Cell cycle checkpoints are surveillance mechanisms that monitor the order, integrity, and fidelity of the major events of the cell cycle. These include growth to the appropriate cell size, the replication and integrity of the chromosomes, and their accurate segregation at mitosis. Many of these mechanisms are ancient in origin and highly conserved, and

Transcriptome changes and cAMP oscillations in an archaeal cell cycle [PDF]
Background The cell cycle of all organisms includes mass increase by a factor of two, replication of the genetic material, segregation of the genome to different parts of the cell, and cell division into two daughter cells.

Context-dependent cell cycle checkpoint abrogation by a novel kinase inhibitor. [PDF]
Checkpoint kinase 1 and 2 (Chk1/Chk2), and the Aurora kinases play a critical role in the activation of the DNA damage response and mitotic spindle checkpoints. We have identified a novel inhibitor of these kinases and utilized this molecule to probe the

Molecular switch model for cardiomyocyte proliferation
This review deals with the human adult cardiomyocyte proliferation as a potential source for heart repair after injury. The mechanism to regain the proliferative capacity of adult cardiomyocytes is a challenge.

Plasmodium falciparum CRK4 links early mitotic events to the onset of S-phase during schizogony
Plasmodium falciparum proliferates through schizogony in the clinically relevant blood stage of infection. During schizogony, consecutive rounds of DNA replication and nuclear division give rise to multinucleated stages before cellularization occurs ...

Nek family of kinases in cell cycle, checkpoint control and cancer [PDF]
Early studies in lower Eukaryotes have defined a role for the members of the NimA related kinase (Nek) family of protein kinases in cell cycle control. Expansion of the Nek family throughout evolution has been accompanied by their broader involvement in ...
