Acquisition, par des cellules eucaryotes, de nouvelles propriétés leur permettant de s'affranchir des contraintes auxquelles sont soumises les cellules normales : de telles cellules, dites cellules "transformées", sont généralement caractérisées par une multiplication active et illimitée ne requérant plus leur ancrage sur un support. Au sein d'un organisme, l'apparition de cellules transformées, dont le développement échappe à tout contrôle, se manifeste par la formation de tumeurs cancéreuses. 2, record 1, French, - transformation%20maligne
