A cellular glitch just caught skipping cell division — cells quietly double their DNA but never split, leaving a genetic mess now tied to cancer and aging

A cell copies all of its DNA, gears up to split in two, and then just… doesn’t. It sits there, swollen with a double genome, and nobody notices. This kind of silent failure has been observed in labs ...
