Cell Communication and Cell Cycle

This study guide covers cell communication (juxtacrine, paracrine, autocrine, endocrine) and signal transduction (reception, transduction, response). It also explores the cell cycle (interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis), its regulation, and the role of feedback loops in maintaining homeostasis. Key concepts include the impact of mutations on signal transduction, cell cycle checkpoints (e.g., p53), and the connection between these processes and diseases like cancer.
