An allelic series of miR-17∼92–mutant mice uncovers functional specialization and cooperation among members of a microRNA polycistron
Andrea Ventura and colleagues characterize an allelic series of genetically engineered mice harboring targeted deletions of individual members of the miR-17~92 cluster. They find evidence of functional coopera...

Germline deletion of the miR-17∼92 cluster causes skeletal and growth defects in humans
Andrea Ventura and colleagues report germline hemizygous deletions in the miR-17~92 cluster in individuals with features overlap** Feingold syndrome. Mice with targeted deletions in miR17~92 also display gro...

A non-genetic route to aneuploidy in human cancers
Aneploidy is frequently observed in cancer. It is now shown that aneploidy can arise by entosis, the process of live cell internalisation by a neighbouring cell. The internalised cell can interfere with host c...
