The consequences of tetraploidy on <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> physiology and sensitivity to chemotherapeutics
2023-06-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Polyploid cells contain more than two copies of each chromosome. Polyploidy has important roles in development, evolution, and tissue regeneration/repair, and can arise as a programmed polyploidization event or be triggered by stress. Cancer cells are often polyploid. C. elegans nematodes are typically diploid, but stressors such as heat shock and starvation can trigger the production of tetrap...
