TRANSCRIPT
• What controls the cell cycle?
• What happens if a cell doesn’t pass a checkpoint?
Cell growth• Growth factors– PDGF=Platelet-derived growth factor
Preventative Measures
• Separation is very careful
• Density-dependent inhibition
• Anchorage dependence
• Apoptosis
Cancer
• No growth factor needed
• Can be immortal if nutrients available
ABCDE of Skin Cancer
