DNA demethylation caused by 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine induces mitotic alterations and aneuploidy

Aneuploidy, the unbalanced number of chromosomes in a cell, is considered a prevalent form of genetic instability and is largely acknowledged as a condition implicated in tumorigenesis. Epigenetic alterations like DNA hypomethylation have been correlated with cancer initiation/progression. Furthermo...
