lncreased risk of slippage upon disengagement of the mitotic checkpoint.
Drugs that impair microtubule dynamics alter microtubule-kinetochore attachment and invoke the mitotic checkpoint which arrests cells in mitosis.The arrest can last for hours, but it is leaky: cells adapt (i.e., slip out of it) and exit from mitosis.Here, we investigate the mechanism that allows cells to escape, and whether it is possible to preven
