Induced aneuploidy in neural stem cells triggers a delayed stress response and impairs adult life span in flies.

Studying aneuploidy during organism development has strong limitations because chronic mitotic perturbations used to generate aneuploidy usually result in lethality. We developed a genetic tool to induce aneuploidy in an acute and time-controlled manner during Drosophila development. This is achieve...
