Neosis: A Novel Type of Cell Division in Cancer
2 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Using computerized video time-lapse microscopy, we studied early cellular events during carcinogen-induced transformation of C3H10T1/2 cells. Multinucleate/polyploid giant cells (MN/PGs) formed due to DNA damage are thought to die via mitotic catastrophe. Before they die, some MN/PGs undergo a novel type of cell division, termed neosis, characterized by karyokinesis via nuclear budding followed by asymmetric,...
