The relationship between metabolism and cell cycle progression is complex and bidirectional. Cells must rewire metabolism to meet changing biosynthetic demands across cell cycle phases. In turn, metabolism can influence cell cycle progression through direct regulation of cell cycle proteins, through nutrient-sensing signaling pathways, and through its impact on cell growth, which is linked to cell division. Furthermore, metabolism is a key player in mediating quiescence-proliferation transitions in physiologically important cell types, such as stem cells. How metabolism impacts cell cycle progression, exit, and re-entry, as well as how these processes impact metabolism, is not fully understood. Recent advances uncovering mechanistic links between cell cycle regulators and metabolic processes demonstrate a complex relationship between metabolism and cell cycle control, with many questions remaining.
