NCIt definition : Control of the rate or manner of the periodic biochemical and structural events occurring
during proliferation of cells; the cycle is divided into periods called: G0, Gap1
(G1), synthesis (S1), Gap2 (G2), and mitosis (M). The period runs from one division
to the next.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Any process that controls the series of events by which a cell goes through
the cell cycle. During the cell cycle, a cell makes a copy of its DNA and other contents,
and divides in two. When cell cycle regulation doesn't happen correctly, cells may
divide in an uncontrolled way, and diseases such as cancer can occur.;
