Overview
Cell cycle inhibitors are molecules that can interact with the cell cycle, the process by which a cell duplicates its genetic material and divides into two daughter cells. They can be synthetic or natural molecules, and can either stimulate or inhibit the cell cycle. Cell cycle inhibitors are important for controlling cell growth, division and differentiation, and are often used in cancer research as they can help to target fast-growing cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. They are also used in drug development, where their ability to inhibit the cell cycle of bacteria, viruses and parasites can be used to prevent their growth and spread.
