Observed variation in body mass via organismal traits that are by-products of body mass diversification (i.e. energy expenditure rate, cellular architecture, growth rate, efficiency of defensive mechanisms, longevity) may translate to a common, species-specific anti-cancer strategy. However, can we share tumor suppression mechanisms found, for example, in elephants (multiple copies of p53 protein) into genome of a rat without affecting its other physiological pathways?
