Cellular cooperation: insights from microbes.

Trends in cell biology - 1 Jan 2013

Celiker Hasan, Gore Jeff

Abstract excerpt

Cooperation between cells is a widespread phenomenon in nature, found across diverse systems ranging from microbial populations to multicellular organisms. For cooperation to evolve and be maintained within a population of cells, costs due to competition have to be outweighed by the benefits gained through cooperative actions. Because cooperation generally confers a cost to the cooperating cells, defector cells...
