  2. Cell fate determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_fate_determination

    This kind of positive feedback at the single cell level and tissue level is responsible for symmetry breaking, which is an all-or-none process whereas once the symmetry is broken, the cells involved become very different. Symmetry breaking leads to a bistable or multistable system where the cell or cells involved are determined for different ...

  3. Ability grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ability_grouping

    Ability grouping is not synonymous with tracking. [1] Tracking differs from ability grouping by scale, permanence, and what students learn. While a teacher could easily move an individual student from the "red table" to "blue table" ability group, tracking is a formal designation that often persists throughout a students' entire school career.

  4. Tracking (education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_(education)

    Tracking differs from ability grouping by scale and permanence. Ability groups are small, informal groups formed within a single classroom. Assignment to an ability group is often short-term (never lasting longer than one school year), and varies by subject. [1] Assignment to an ability group is made by (and can be changed at any time by) the ...

  5. Cellular differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_differentiation

    Each cell type is defined by its particular pattern of regulated gene expression. Cell differentiation is thus a transition of a cell from one cell type to another and it involves a switch from one pattern of gene expression to another. Cellular differentiation during development can be understood as the result of a gene regulatory network.

  6. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    Meristematic tissues that take up a specific role lose the ability to divide. This process of taking up a permanent shape, size and a function is called cellular differentiation. Cells of meristematic tissue differentiate to form different types of permanent tissues. There are 2 types of permanent tissues: simple permanent tissues

  7. Cell–cell recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellcell_recognition

    Cellcell recognition is especially important in the innate immune system, which identifies pathogens very generally. Central to this process is the binding of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of phagocytes and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in pathogenic microorganisms. [8]

  8. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Most distinct cell types arise from a single totipotent cell, called a zygote, that differentiates into hundreds of different cell types during the course of development. Differentiation of cells is driven by different environmental cues (such as cellcell interaction) and intrinsic differences (such as those caused by the uneven distribution ...

  9. Morphogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphogenesis

    The ability of cells to do this has been proposed to arise from differential cell adhesion by Malcolm Steinberg through his differential adhesion hypothesis. Tissue separation can also occur via more dramatic cellular differentiation events during which epithelial cells become mesenchymal (see Epithelial–mesenchymal transition ).
