Mild replication stress causes chromosome mis-segregation via premature centriole disengagement

Chromosome instability can be caused by replication stress, although the mechanism is unclear. Here, the authors show that inducing mild replication stress in cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines leads to centriole disengagement and the subsequent formation of lagging chromosomes and micronuclei.
