Targeting the Cell Cycle: A New Approach to Cancer Therapy

Abstract excerpt

The cell cycle represents a series of tightly integrated events that allow the cell to grow and proliferate. Critical parts of the cell cycle machinery are the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which, when activated, provide a means for the cell to move from one phase of the cell cycle to the next. The CDKs are regulated positively by cyclins and regulated negatively by naturally occurring CDK inhibitors (CDKIs)....
