An entosis-like process induces mitotic disruption in Pals1 microcephaly pathogenesis
5 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Entosis is cell cannibalism utilized by tumor cells to engulf live neighboring cells for pro- or anti-tumorigenic purposes. It is unknown whether this extraordinary cellular event can be pathogenic in other diseases such as microcephaly, a condition characterized by a smaller than normal brain at birth.
