While reproductive senescence can simply be an unavoidable consequence of cellular senescence, selection on life-history scheduling could also be impacted by the chances that an organism develops cancer, either in its own soma (model: Looking for five genes that have been shown to induce pluripotency in differentiated somatic cells of mammals (However, further analysis showed that POU-5, whose member is a stem cell pluripotency marker It is likely that vertebrate-specific core TF network (OCT-3/4, NANOG, and SOX-2) is a bilaterian invention The embryonic ectoderm development (EED) homolog hyEED, a member of Polycomb repressor complex, and two PCR2 are expressed in interstitial stem cells but is lost during their differentiation of nematocytes indicating that, as in the mammalian stem cell, chromatin modification influences stem cell fate (see Also, interstitial stem cells express bHLH TFs gene achaete-scute homolog To safeguard genome integrity, an evolutionary conserved small RNA-based silencing mechanism implicated PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting (piRNA) suppress transposons through transcriptional and posttranscriptional silencing Wnt, TGF-β, Notch, and Hedgehog pathways are functional in Hydra. Hydra, or at least an entire lineage of hydra, might be able to escape cancer but aspects of sexual reproduction can also contribute to cancer risk. (Galliot and Chera) There are many different phyla of animal that contain species with a high potential for regeneration. The body of such an organism consists of a thin, usually translucent tube that measures up to about 30 millimetres (1.2 inches) long but is capable of great contraction.
