Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 enables viable aneuploidy following centrosome amplification.
Journal Article Genetics · October 8, 2025 Amplified centrosome number causes genomic instability, most severely through division into >2 aneuploid daughter cells (multipolar mitosis). Several mechanisms that suppress multipolar division have been uncovered, yet mechanisms that favor viable multipo ...
