    Abstract

    A wide array of cell-intrinsic surveillance mechanisms maintains the homeostasis of dividing cells and the integrity of the genome. Accumulating evidence also supports a role for cell-extrinsic mechanisms. Among them, the immune system, together with cell-autonomous checkpoint processes, eliminates cells that harbor unbalanced karyotypes generated by mitotic defects.
