It is a type of 'keyhole' surgery where only very small cuts (incisions) are made to the body. VATS uses a special instrument called a thoracoscope.

The cells in G0 phase do not go through mitosis whatsoever. These cells only do what they are initially suppose to do, and do not prepare for a division. Many cells in your body are like this. Brain cells are in G0 phase and do not EVER replace itself. However, many cells may also trigger its phase from G0 phase to G1 phase when more cells are needed. When a liver is critically damaged, the liver cells are triggered back to G1 phase to replenish its lost cells.
Cyclins go hand in hand with kinases. Cyclins do not cause a cell to progress in the cell cycle because cyclins are mere proteins that regulate the rate of the process, and how fast the cell progresses through this process. Cyclins also act by binding to various kinases, which are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from ATP to other enzymes. The phosphate group activates these enzymes. The quantity of these kinases in the cell remains steady throughout the cell cycle; however they are active only when bound to cyclins.
