Decidual cell polyploidization necessitates mitochondrial activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cellular polyploidy has been widely reported in nature, yet its developmental mechanism and function remain poorly understood. In the present study, to better define the aspects of decidual cell polyploidy, we isolated pure polyploid and non-polyploid ...

Cytotaxonomical aspects of Antarctic mosses, with special reference to the proportion of polyploidy
Antarctic Record, 1994 The evolutionary tendency concerning karyological features, especially the proportion of polyploidy and infraspecific polyploidy in Antarctic mosses is reviewed.

Polyploidy in the adult Drosophila brain
eLife, 2020 Long-lived cells such as terminally differentiated postmitotic neurons and glia must cope with the accumulation of damage over the course of an animal’s lifespan. How long-lived cells deal with ageing-related damage is poorly understood.

Whole-Genome Doubling as a source of cancer: how, when, where, and why?
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Chromosome instability is a well-known hallmark of cancer, leading to increased genetic plasticity of tumoral cells, which favors cancer aggressiveness, and poor prognosis.

The expanding implications of polyploidy [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2015 Polyploid cells, which contain more than two genome copies, occur throughout nature. Beyond well-established roles in increasing cell size/metabolic output, polyploidy can also promote nonuniform genome, transcriptome, and metabolome alterations. Polyploidy also frequently confers resistance to environmental stresses not tolerated by diploid cells ...

Polyploidy on Islands: Its Emergence and Importance for Diversification
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Whole genome duplication or polyploidy is widespread among floras globally, but traditionally has been thought to have played a minor role in the evolution of island biodiversity, based on the low proportion of polyploid taxa present. We investigate five
