What are the Implications of Uncontrolled Cell Proliferation?
Uncontrolled cell proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. In cancerous tissues, cells divide uncontrollably due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle. Histological examination of tumors often reveals a high number of proliferating cells, which can be detected using the aforementioned markers. Understanding the mechanisms of uncontrolled proliferation is key to developing targeted cancer therapies.
