Cell Cycle
We work with scientists to design animated presentations that correspond with their research and lecture objectives. Overall our goal is to make science easier to understand and more engaging.
The cell cycle is a complex process that leads to the production of 2 identical daughter cells.
​
Cell surface receptors can regulate the cell cycle.
​
In eukaryotes, the cell cycle can be divided into 2 parts:
-
Interphase- cell growth, accumulation of nutrients needed for mitosis, preparation for cell division and duplication of DNA
-
Mitosis- cell splits itself into 2 distinct daughter cells
​
Interphase
​
-
G1 - cell growth, protein production
-
S phase- DNA synthesis, DNA replication
-
G2 - cell prepares to divide, new organelles form
​
Mitosis
​
-
Prophase
-
Metaphase
-
Anaphase
-
Telophase
​
The result of mitosis is two identical cells produced through cytokinesis, division of the cell cytoplasm. The cell cycle can be regulated by a number of signaling components, such as JAK STAT.
