Cell cycle progression after cleavage failure
7 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Failure of cells to cleave at the end of mitosis is dangerous to the organism because it immediately produces tetraploidy and centrosome amplification, which is thought to produce genetic imbalances. Using normal human and rat cells, we reexamined the basis for the attractive and increasingly accepted proposal that normal mammalian cells have a "tetraploidy checkpoint" that arrests binucleate cells in G1, thereby...
