Plk1 overexpression induces chromosomal instability and suppresses tumor development

PLK1 is a mitotic regulator overexpressed in cancer; however, whether this overexpression causally contributes to tumor development is unclear. Here the authors produce an inducible mouse model to overexpress PLK1 and show that actually this can act as a tumor suppressor by perturbing mitotic progre...
