The cell cycle is a carefully choreographed series of events that lead to cell division. In cancer, a mutated gene results in the loss of normal control over this process, leading to uncontrolled cell division. this article focuses on one of the principal players in this process, the ras protein. A mutation i the ras gene leads to about 30% of all cancers.
