In the context of rapid cell division, such as during wound repair, cells often expedite their division process. The G1 phase, which is part of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication, may be shortened to enable quicker progression through the cell cycle. This allows for faster tissue repair and regeneration.
