Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations contribute to colorectal tumourigenesis and progression are still not fully understood. Using in vitro mouse embryonic stem cells, APC mutations have been proposed to dysregulate the interactions between kinetochores and microtubules during mitosis, leading to chromosomal instability (CIN) and aneuploidy. A link between APC mutations and...
