Product Description
The Cell Cycle is an account of the mechanisms that control cell division, beginning with a description of the phases and main events of the cell cycle and the main model organisms in cell-cycle analysis, including Xenopus, Drosophila, and yeasts. Later chapters focus on the molecules and mechanisms of the cell-cycle control system, including the cyclin-dependent kinase family of protein kinases, the cyclins that activate them, and the signaling molecules that regulate them, and discuss cell-cycle control in development and the failure of controls in cancer.

Very 'detailed' book about cell cycle February 21, 2010
Ruben Agrelo (Montevideo Uruguay)

This is the best book about cell cycle you can read.The author wrote in the preface citing the architect Le Corbusier: "There are no details.Everything is an essential part of a whole.In nature microcosm and macrocosm are one"
This is the philosophy behind this book...you will find every detail as part of the big picture.Very good and helpful illustrations and diagrams help the reader to understand concepts and pathways.
Great resource for all! December 16, 2009

Excellent book!
Great for an undergrad or grad student, but most importantly, it is the perfect resource for every cell biologist at all levels. A great starting point for the various cell cycle model organisms without sifting through piles of outdated or wrong reviews.
This is one of the more handy books that sits on my shelf.
