Until recently, cell division was supposedly unstoppable. However, scientists have managed to harness the protein that conducts cell division. The team is able to "interrupt and reverse the event, sending duplicate chromosomes back to the center of the original cell". The only problem is if they don't do it quickly enough, then the process does not work due to "multiple regulators in the cell division cycle". The next step is to study what starts such events. If scientists succeed, they will be able to control the development of cancers, be able to prevent and TREAT birth defects along with multiple other conditions.
