Article takes a look at how cancer develops and what's wrong with cancer cells. Also, delves into how abnormal forms of cell cycle regulators can contribute to cancer.

Within every cell in our body, two copies of a tumor suppressor gene called BRCA1 are tasked with regulating the speed at which cells divide. This learning module explains how these genes can sometimes mutate, making those cells less...

This animation from NOVA: "Battle in the War on Cancer: Breast Cancer" describes how oncogenes cause cancer and how cancerous cells can spread throughout the body.

Self-guided learning activity where students learn about cell structure and function, different types of tissues, and various kinds of membranes in the body. There is a short quiz at the end of the lesson to check for understanding.

An information sheet where students fill in the appropriate words to complete the page on cell division. Also included on page is diagrams of binary fission and cell division.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Cancer is a disease that causes cells to divide out of control. Normally, the body has systems that prevent cells from dividing out of control. But in the case of...

Just like mitosis creates two identical healthy cells from one, it also enables cancer cells to duplicate themselves, facilitating the spread of the disease.
