Cell Fusion is a Potent Inducer of Aneuploidy and Drug Resistance in Tumor Cell/ Normal Cell Hybrids
17 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
The biological phenomenon of cell fusion is involved in several physiological (fertilization, tissue regeneration) and pathophysiological (viral infection, cancer) processes. Particularly in the tumor context, cell fusion has been associated with a progression of this disease since hybrid cells derived from fusion events between tumor cells and normal cells, such as macrophages and adult stem cells, exhibited...
