Intraclonal recovery following X-irradiation in an in vitro study of L5178Y-S murine leukaemic cells is reviewed. This phenomenon was first described in 1994 occurring in the slowly growing clones ('slow clones') present among the survivors in irradiated cell populations. An attempt to explain these experimental data is given in terms of the present knowledge of the role of mitochondria in nontargeted radiation effects, with the focus on genomic instability and mtDNA-related epigenetic modifications of the nuclear genome. An understanding of this intraclonal recovery may be important in preventing tumour regrowth following radiotherapy, as well as in decreasing the risk of secondary radiation-induced malignancies.

In highly disturbed environments, clonality facilitates plant survival via resprouting after disturbance, resource sharing among interconnected stems and vegetative reproduction. These traits likely contribute to the encroachment of deep-rooted clonal shrubs in tallgrass prairie. Clonal shrubs have access to deep soil water and are typically thought of as relatively insensitive to environmental variability.

Genetic diversity is considered a key factor of population survival and evolution, especially in changing environments. Genetic diversity arises from mutations in the DNA sequence of cell lines and from there it reaches the level of organisms, populations, and regions. However, many previous studies have not considered the organism architecture or pattern of thallus construction, ignoring the potential genetic complexities that intraorganismal genetic heterogeneity could generate in modular organisms.

Recovery of the T lymphocyte compartment within a lymphopenic host by lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) is regulated by inter- and intraclonal competition for limited resources, including homeostatic cytokines and peptide:MHC (pMHC) complexes with which the TCR can interact at least weakly to yield a tonic signal. Importantly, the process of LIP can synergize with other factors that promote T cell activation to drive inflammatory disease. While reconstitution of the lymphoid compartment of immune deficient Rag mice by transfer of wild-type hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) does not generally result in an overt disease phenotype, transfer of HSC deficient in expression of the co-inhibitory molecule PD-1 results in severe systemic autoimmunity driven by newly generated T cells that emerge from the thymus into the periphery and undergo LIP.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a tumor of circulating B cells, variably stimulated and anergized following exposure to antigen in lymphoid tissues. Down-modulation of surface IgM (sIgM) occurs, but expression and signal capacity can recover in vitro and apparently in vivo during recirculation. We have now dissected individual circulating clones of CLL cases according to sIgM expression level by differential binding to bead-bound anti-IgM.
