Thymidine
Thymidine (DThyd) is a nucleoside used to synchronize cell populations by reversibly inhibiting DNA synthesis, inducing G1/S phase arrest. It serves as a specific DNA precursor in research applications, including studies of cell cycle dynamics, DNA replication, and cytotoxicity in both in vitro and in vivo models.
