Preferred Label : cell cycle checkpoints;
MeSH definition : Regulatory signaling systems that control the progression through the CELL CYCLE.
They ensure that the cell has completed, in the correct order and without mistakes,
all the processes required to replicate the GENOME and CYTOPLASM, and divide them
equally between two daughter cells. If cells sense they have not completed these processes
or that the environment does not have the nutrients and growth hormones in place to
proceed, then the cells are restrained (or arrested) until the processes are completed
and growth conditions are suitable.;
