WBbiopr:00000024Public_nameCell specification and differentiation
SummaryDevelopmental decisions on the cellular level include choosing between continued proliferation or specifying a fate by differentiating from their sister cells. In C. elegans, many cell fates are a direct outcome of their cell lineage; however, there are cases where cell specification is controlled by extrinsic signals from surrounding cells or tissues that activate intracellular differentiation programs.
