Remarkably, the short - term presence of cells with
supernumerary centrosomes in PLK4OE / p53cKO mice was sufficient to generate aneuploidy in the adult epidermis and triggered spontaneous skin cancers with complete penetrance.
To tackle this question, we have focused our attention on centrosome amplification, a dysfunction characterized by the presence of
supernumerary centrosomes, and initially described as a main feature of cancer only.
