2. Cell Cycle & Growth Control
Goal: Understand how normal cells divide and how this becomes abnormal in cancer.
Cover: G1, S, G2, M, cyclins/CDKs, RB/E2F, p53/p21, p16, G1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint, mitotic checkpoint and abnormal growth signalling.
Book map: Chapter 5 Cell Cycle + Chapter 6 Tumour Suppressor Genes. Your uploaded notes already highlight G1/S, cyclin-CDK regulation, RB, G2 checkpoint and mitotic checkpoint as high yield.
