Live-cell imaging reveals the origins of micronuclei (MNi), crucial biomarkers for genotoxicity and chromosome instability. This review discusses novel findings and remaining questions on MNi formation using advanced live-cell microscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Micronuclei (MNi) are widely used to assess genotoxic effects and chromosome instability.
  • Traditional methods have limitations in fully elucidating MNi formation mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review studies investigating the origins of MNi using live-cell imaging.
  • To discuss novel findings and unresolved questions in MNi formation.

Main Methods:

  • Live-cell imaging techniques.
  • Genetically engineered chromosome labelling.
  • Real-time, high-throughput single-cell analysis.

Main Results:

  • Live-cell imaging enables detailed, real-time investigation of MNi origins.
