From DNA Radiation Damage to Cell Death: Theoretical Approaches by Francesca Ballarini

“…Furthermore, a mechanistic model developed at the University of Pavia and based on the relationship between cell inactivation and chromosome aberrations was presented, together with recent results; the good agreement between model predictions and literature experimental data on different radiation types (photons, protons, alpha particles, and Carbon ions) supported the idea that asymmetric chromosome aberrations like dicentrics and rings play a fundamental role for cell death. …”

Aneuploidy Mechanisms in Human Colorectal Preneoplastic Lesions and Barrett’s Esophagus. Is There a Role for K-Ras and p53 Mutations? by Walter Giaretti

“…These data and data from experiments using in vitro and mouse models, suggest that chromosome instability, tetraploidization, and asymmetrical chromosome segregation during cell division are the result of deregulated cell cycle genes with multiple functions that normally exert active checks on the cell cycle processes including apoptosis and chromosome stability.…”
