Researchers have recently identified a protein named Astrin that is responsible for the appropriate and equal separation of chromosomes during cell division. Cell division is a vulnerable process and a small mistake can lead to irregular numbers of chromosomes. Earlier studies have revealed that irregularity in chromosomes can lead to a more aggressive form of cancer. Researchers believe that the study is crucial to understand the complicated process of cell division and could help to develop an effective method to treat cancer.
