Abstract

This work is a review of the process of differentiation, specially considered on its biomollecular level. Differentiation is due to a selective gens regulation mechanisms. Cancer could result of an aberrant gens regulation. In this papper are also presented some practical situations as for exemple the phenomem of metaplasia and the histologic grading of the malignant tumors.
