Multi-nucleation in two-cell human embryos stems from spindle and metaphase plate incoherence in the first mitosis

Gerard H. Pieper, Mansour Aboelenain, Lucy Munro, Bettina P. Mihalas, Cerys E. Currie, Deborah M. Taylor, Daniel M. Collins, Geraldine M. Hartshorne, Andrew D. McAinsh, Richard A. Anderson, Adèle L. Marston

The paper investigates the causes of multi-nucleation in two-cell human embryos and finds that spindle and metaphase plate incoherence during the first mitosis leads to this phenomenon.
