Centrosome overduplication contributes to tumorigenesis

癌症可以简单地认为是一种细胞生长和分裂的疾病。为了改进目前的治疗机制并确定新的治疗机制，需要充分了解控制细胞增殖的潜在机制。通过定义这些调控机制，可以进一步确定当前化疗药物的靶点并确定新的靶点。这将导致有针对性地开发可用于抗癌的新型药物。

Cancer can be simplistically thought of as a disease of cell growth and division. In order to improve current treatment regimes and identify new ones, the underlying mechanisms controlling cell proliferation need to be fully understood. By defining these regulatory mechanisms, targets for current chemotherapeutic agents can be further characterised and new ones identified. This will lead to the targeted developments of new classes of drugs which can be used in the fight against cancer.
