Cell growth, one of the most fundamental of biological processes,
has long been among the least understood. On April 24-28, 1984 sci-
entists convened from around the world in Canada's Banff National
Park for The International Cell Cycle Society's 10th Conference.
Their purpose was to evaluate recent developments in the field of
cell prolif- eration and to explore the interrelationship between
cell growth, de- velopment, and differentiation, and proliferative
diseases such as can- cer. Growth, Cancer, and the Cell Cycle
collects those conference papers that present the most recent
advances in this field. The first section of the book is Gene
Expression and Development During Growth. It examines the structure
and function of chromatin, DNA unwinding proteins, and nonhistone
nuclear proteins, then ex- plores transcriptional, translational,
and post-translational regulation during the cell cycle and the
interrelationship and coordinate regula- tion of cell growth,
differentiation, and gene expression. The second section, Growth
Activation and Dormancy, focuses upon the events that occur during
the transition between active cell growth and proliferative
quiescence. The role of DNA strand breaks, protein kinase activity,
growth regulatory factors, and the cytoskeleton are examined.
Section three discusses The Topology of the Cell Cycle. It reviews
genetic approaches for determining the sequence of events and cau-
sality relationships that comprise and coordinate the many separate
processes involved in cell cycle progression and describes the use
of multipara meter flow cytometry to characterize the mammalian
cell cy- cle and intracellular metabolic and transitional growth
states.
