The impact of chromosomal instability on health: Molecular causes and consequences of aneuploidy (PLOIDYNET)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

Aneuploidy, an abnormal number of chromosomes, is a hallmark of cancer cells, affecting the majority of all human tumours. Aneuploidy arises when errors occur during mitosis, as the duplicated chromosomes are distributed between the two new daughter cells. Paradoxically, aneuploidy appears to have detrimental consequences for the physiology of untransformed cells in vitro, inhibiting rather than s ...
