Study Notes

Observing Cell Division

  • Robert Hooke first observed cell division in the 17th century.
  • Rudolf Virchow further proposed the concept of cell division, stating that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Cell Cycle

  • The cell cycle is a series of events that take place in a cell leading to its growth and division into two daughter cells.
  • Howard and Pelc proposed the cell cycle in 1953.
  • Cyclin compounds play a critical role in regulating the cell cycle, acting as external stimuli, particularly cyclin B, and helping to move the cell through its phases.

Erythropoiesis

  • Erythropoietin (EPO) hormone is produced by the kidneys to stimulate the production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bone marrow.

Interphase

  • The stage during which the cell grows and copies its DNA before entering mitosis.
  • The nucleus in interphase is called the interphase nucleus.
  • The interphase is further subdivided into three stages, G1, S, and G2, each performing different functions.
  • The components of DNA replication, such as enzymes and nucleotides, are produced during the G1 phase.
  • DNA replication is completed in the S phase.
  • The essential components for microtubule formation, such as tubulin, are synthesized during the G2 phase.

Cyclin Compounds and Mitosis

  • Cyclin E is a specific cyclin compound that helps complete the necessary steps for mitosis.
  • Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) are a family of enzymes that play an essential role in regulating the cell cycle and are activated by cyclin compounds.

Mitotic Phase

  • The mitotic phase of the cell cycle in mammalian cells typically lasts for a short duration of about 1-2 hours.
