Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic diversification of cells is crucial for developmental and regenerative processes in multicellular organisms. The diversification concept is described as the motion of marbles rolling down Waddington's landscape, in which the number of stable states changes as development proceeds. In contrast to this simple concept, the complexity of natural biomolecular processes prevents comprehension of their design...
