This press release article and post title seem to slightly misstate what the new findings are from this study. It’s not new information that cell division has a lot of checkpoints. CDKs and their regulation of cell division have been known for some time. However, this study showed that there’s another checkpoint mechanism that is independently regulated from the CDKs. Very interesting finding, just a misleading title to this post and the press release.

Reply to New study shows that cells use checkpoints in cell divison. It could improve cancer therapy if researchers learn to trick the cells into skipping the checkpoint, making the consequence for their DNA irreversible by UCPH
