Cancer evolution: Darwin and beyond
Clinical and laboratory studies over recent decades have established branched evolution as
a feature of cancer. However, while grounded in somatic selection, several lines of evidence …

Aneuploidy as a promoter and suppressor of malignant growth
Aneuploidy has been recognized as a hallmark of tumorigenesis for more than 100 years,
but the connection between chromosomal errors and malignant growth has remained …

Aneuploidy renders cancer cells vulnerable to mitotic checkpoint inhibition
Y Cohen-Sharir, JM McFarland, M Abdusamad… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Selective targeting of aneuploid cells is an attractive strategy for cancer treatment. However,
it is unclear whether aneuploidy generates any clinically relevant vulnerabilities in cancer …

Oncogene-like addiction to aneuploidy in human cancers
Most cancers exhibit aneuploidy, but its functional significance in tumor development is
controversial. Here, we describe ReDACT (Restoring Disomy in Aneuploid cells using …

An analysis of genetic heterogeneity in untreated cancers
Genetic intratumoural heterogeneity is a natural consequence of imperfect DNA replication.
Any two randomly selected cells, whether normal or cancerous, are therefore genetically …

[PDF][PDF] Chromosomal instability accelerates the evolution of resistance to anti-cancer therapies
Aneuploidy is a ubiquitous feature of human tumors, but the acquisition of aneuploidy
typically antagonizes cellular fitness. To investigate how aneuploidy could contribute to …
