Process analysis of carcinogenesis: concept derivation of the tissue function "preservation of a homogeneous gene expression".

Abstract excerpt

A new system for maintaining homogeneous gene expression in tissue and for destroying through apoptosis nonconforming cells is introduced. This functionality is called the "similarity comparison." Accordingly, the survival of mutated cells is hindered due to reduced gene expression. That, in turn, maintains the homogeneity of the tissue and prevents tumors from developing. The concept of the similarity comparison...
