The Cell Cycle and its Regulation
Your cells have to divide when you're growing, to heal wounds, and to replace dead cells. But how do cells know when to divide and when not to divide? We can't have cells just growing willy-nilly! That's what cancer is, and that's bad....

What is Cancer?
In this video Paul Andersen answers the very simple question: What is cancer? He explains how damage to the DNA can create uncontrolled cell growth. He explains how malignant tumors can spread the disease throughout the body and gives...

TED-Ed: The cancer gene we all have - Michael Windelspecht
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. Michael Windelspecht explains how these genes can sometimes mutate, making those cells less...

Cell Cycle Regulators & Tumor Suppressor Genes | Proto-oncogenes & Oncogenes
In this video, we discuss the difference between proto-oncogene and oncogene AND the meaning of tumor suppressor genes. We also explore how dysfunction in any of these can lead to cancer.

Mitosis
Paul Andersen describes the process of mitosis. He begins by discussing the importance of the cell cycle in development, regeneration, asexual reproduction and wound healing. He differentiates between haploid and diploid cells and...

Endocannabinoids [Part 4] | Effects on Cancer Cells
In this video, we explore the basic mechanism by which endocannabinoids may shift a cancerous cell toward cell death, autophagy, and cell cycle arrest.

What is Cancer?
Cancer is the ultimate expiration date for biological life. But what is it? How does it occur? Is there anything we can do about it? Let's take a brief look at this incredibly complex issue.
