Entosis: aneuploidy by invasion

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Aneuploidy is one of the most prevalent phenotypes of human tumours, but the underlying cause of this phenomenon remains highly debated. Entosis, the invasion of a living cell into another cell's cytoplasm, is now shown to perturb cytokinesis and induce the formation of aneuploid cells.
