The protein p53 is the product of the gene, TP53. Mutation in the TP53 gene has been associated with the pathology of several malignant cancers. TP53 is classified as a tumour-suppressor gene - it acts as a 'brake' during the cell cycle, and prevents cells from replicating too quickly. All human cells, apart from gametes… Continue reading The role of p53 in cancer
During the life cycle of a cell, each cell divides to form two genetically identical cells. This process is called mitosis. Just before the cell enters mitosis, the DNA duplicates. During the process of mitosis each half of the DNA is pulled to towards the opposite poles of the cell. When the cell divides into… Continue reading Why do cells need ATP? – role of ATP in cell division
