Abstract
Aneuploidy is deleterious at the cellular and organismal level and can promote tumorigenesis. Two new studies in Drosophila imaginal discs underscore the cellular and tissue-wide mechanisms that prevent the accumulation of aneuploid cells in symmetrically dividing epithelial tissues upon changes in centrosome number.
