  2. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    Telophase (from Ancient Greek τέλος 'end, result, completion' and φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase (the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrating) are reversed.

  3. Induced cell cycle arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_cell_cycle_arrest

    G 1 phase is the first of the four phases of the cell cycle, and is part of interphase. While in G 1 the cell synthesizes messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps of interphase leading to mitosis. In human somatic cells, the cell cycle lasts about 18 hours, and the G 1 phase makes up about 1 / 3 of that time. [13]

  4. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.

  5. Cell cycle checkpoint - Wikipedia

    An additional function of Plk1 is to activate Cdc25 through phosphorylation. The compound effect of Wee1 degradation and Cdc25 activation is the net removal of inhibitory phosphorylation from cdc2, which activates cdc2. Plk1 is activated at the G2/M transition by the Aurora A and Bora, which accumulate during G2 and form an activation complex.

  6. Causal notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_notation

    In nature and human societies, many phenomena have causal relationships where one phenomenon A (a cause) impacts another phenomenon B (an effect). Establishing causal relationships is the aim of many scientific studies across fields ranging from biology [1] and physics [2] to social sciences and economics. [3]

  7. Telomerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomerase

    Another study found little evidence that, in humans, telomere length is a significant biomarker of normal aging with respect to important cognitive and physical abilities. [ 39 ] Some experiments have raised questions on whether telomerase can be used as an anti-aging therapy , namely, the fact that mice with elevated levels of telomerase have ...

  8. Maturation promoting factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maturation_promoting_factor

    [1] [2] It stimulates the mitotic and meiotic phases of the cell cycle. MPF promotes the entrance into mitosis (the M phase) from the G 2 phase by phosphorylating multiple proteins needed during mitosis. MPF is activated at the end of G 2 by a phosphatase, which removes an inhibitory phosphate group added earlier.

  9. G1 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_phase

    The G 1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis. G 1 phase ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase.
