The concept of 'checkpoints' arose from the discovery of genes in budding yeast that are required for coordinating the progression of cell-cycle events when earlier processes have not been ...

Yet another critical cell cycle checkpoint takes place mid-mitosis ... In fact, two of the three scientists who received Nobel Prizes for cell cycle research used yeast as the subject of their ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.
