Abstract excerpt
Centrosomes regulate cell division by forming bipolar mitotic spindles and, thus, play an essential role in the maintenance of chromosomal stability. Centrosomal amplification has been found commonly among tumor cells. Previous studies have suggested that a STK15 (serine/threonine kinase 15) gene can induce centrosomal amplification, chromosomal instability, and cell transformation. To investigate the role of...
