Newly discovered mechanism in cell division has implications for chromosome's role in cancer

'A biologist, a physicist, and a nanotechnologist walk into a...' sounds like the start of a joke. Instead, it was the start of a collaboration that has helped to decipher a critical, but so far largely unstudied, phase of how cells divide. Errors in cell division can cause mutations that lead to cancer, and this study could shed light on the role of chromosome abnormalities in uncontrolled cell replication...
