MICRONUCLEI IN SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
International Journal of Histopathological Interpretation, 2022 Micronuclei are small chromatin bodies that appear in the cytoplasm by the condensation of acrocentric chromosomal fragments or by whole chromosome, lagging behind the cell division.Micronuclei in oral exfoliated epithelial cells are widely used as a biomarker of chromosomal damage, genome instability and cancer risk in humans.In oral exfoliated cells ...
