"The Cell Cycle: Principles of Control", by David O Morgan

"A textbook for students and working scientists on the cell cycle and the molecular mechanisms of cell cycle control, with special chapters on cell-cycle control in development and cancer. '...a fresh, contemporary and highly informative view....I have enjoyed reading this textbook cover to cover' Torsten Krude (University of Cambridge)"

"The Cell Cycle is an account of the mechanisms that control cell division, beginning with a description of the phases and main events of the cell cycle and the main model organisms in cell-cycle analysis. Later chapters focus on the molecules and mechanism of the cell-cycle control system, including the cyclin-dependent kinase family of protein kinases, the cyclins that activate them and the signaling molecules that regulate them, and discuss cell-cycle control in development and the failure of controls in cancer."
