Molecular basis of mitotic decline during human aging
2018-02-06
Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy, an abnormal chromosome number, has been linked to aging and age-associated diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Supported by direct live-cell imaging of young, middle-aged and old-aged primary human dermal fibroblasts, we found that aneuploidy increases with aging due to general dysfunction of the mitotic machinery. Increased chromosome segregation defects in elderly mitoti...
