Cell division is an elemental process, and mainly consists of chromosome segregation and subsequent cytokinesis. Some errors in this process have the possibility of leading to carcinogenesis. Aurora-B is known as a chromosomal passenger protein that regulates cell division. In our previous studies of giant cell glioblastoma, we reported that multinucleated giant cells resulted from aberrations in cytokinesis with...
