Centrosome amplification is a phenomenon in which cells possess an excessive number of centrosomes, which are the major microtubule-organizing centers in animal cells. This can occur in various types of cancer and is associated with genomic instability, aberrant cell division, and tumor progression. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms underlying centrosome amplification, its role in cancer development, and potential therapeutic strategies to target this abnormality. By studying centrosome amplification, researchers hope to uncover new insights into cancer biology and identify novel targets for cancer treatment.
