This week I examine how cells divide, from the growth signal that initiates division to the actual process of a single cell dividing into two fully functional cells.

I also look at how the process of cell division is tightly regulated and how the cell reacts to issues during division.

Finally, I delve into how cell division can go wrong and how cancer cells actually take advantage of imperfections in cell division to make them resistant to your bodies immune system and chemotherapeutic drugs.
