Normal human endometrium in cell culture. III. Mechanism(s) of epithelial polyploidization

D Kirk et al. Cell Biol Int Rep. 1980 Jan.

Abstract

Autoradiography has confirmed previous cytophotometric results showing epithelial polyploid formation to be dependent on DNA synthesis. Polyploidization appears to be largely caused by endoreduplication and perhaps, to a lesser extent, by failure of cytokinesis.
