The enigma of cancer polyploidy as deciphered by evolutionary cancer cell biology (ECCB) by Vladimir F. Niculescu, Eugenia R. Niculescu

“…The cells lose their stemness and differentiation potential but persist in proliferation as low-grade polyploids (4n) through defective symmetric cell division (DSCD). Genomic integrity can be restored through homotypic cell and nuclear fusion, resulting in the formation of high-grade polyploids known as multinucleated genome repair syncytia, or by inductive hyperpolyploidization of more than 64n, as observed in single-celled polyploid giant cancer cells. …”

A singular limit for an age structured mutation problem by Jacek Banasiak, Aleksandra Falkiewicz

“…The spread of a particular trait in a cell population often is modelled by an appropriate system of ordinary differential equations describing how the sizes of subpopulations of the cells with the same genome change in time. On the other hand, it is recognized that cells have their own vital dynamics and mutations, leading to changes in their genome, mostly occurring during the cell division at the end of its life cycle. …”
