CELL CYCLE ASYNCHRONY GENERATES DNA DAMAGE AT MITOTIC ENTRY IN POLYPLOID CELLS

This study shows that polyploid cells generate DNA damage at mitotic entry due to cell cycle asynchrony, contributing to genetic instability in Drosophila and mouse neural stem cells.

Gene editing can generate fragile bivalents in mouse oocytes

This study shows that excessive microtubule nucleation from fragmented acentriolar MTOCs in mouse oocytes leads to chromosome breakage during meiosis.
