Abstract

The cell divides in a series of discrete steps that occur in a specific order. Lu and Cross (2010) now propose that cell-cycle events are ordered by a regulatory system in which a master oscillator, based on cyclin-dependent kinases, entrains a series of peripheral oscillators controlling individual events.
