 #ALT#DNA Damage Repair and the Progression of the Cell Cycle

All stages of the cell cycle in normal cells are tightly controlled. In cancer cells, several proteins and genes that impact the progression of the cell cycle are overexpressed or mutated and turn into oncogenes. The proteins involved in cell cycle regulation, specifically DNA damage and DNA replication, are significant cancer therapeutic targets.
