Numerous errors in chromosome segregation during cell division can lead to the formation of micronuclei, even if there isn’t actual mis-segregation of the chromosomes. These events are not mutually ...

Asbestos and other mineral fibers have long been known to induce lung cancer and mesothelioma. However, the primary mechanisms of fiber-induced carcinogenesis still remain unclear. We investigated the ...
