What keeps cells in tissues behaving normally in the face of myriad mutations?
Article Abstract:
Many local mutations and large genomic rearrangements per somatic cell, that accumulates with age at different rates per organ, and without visible effects was indicated in the use of a reporter gene in transgenic mice. It was shown that the normalization of the neoplastic phenotype does not require gap junctional communication between cells though transdifferentiation might.

Detecting functional interactions in a gene and signaling network by time-resolved somatic complementation analysis
Article Abstract:
The complementation of mutational defects in the network mediating stimulus-induced commitment and sporulation of Physarum polycephalum may reflect time-dependent changes in the signaling state of its molecular building blocks. Fusion of two mutant cells and mixing of their cytoplasms conducted a study to investigate the Somatic complementation.
