*Note that in heart and liver polyploidy is associated with increased protection from carcinogenesis, apoptosis, various pathogens and impaired pro- inflammatory, pro-apoptotic and pro – tumorigenic processes. Note also moderate induction of cell adhesion and extracellular matrix proteins and slight impairment of cell signalling and transport.
