Cell competition in mammals - novel homeostatic machinery for embryonic development and cancer prevention.

Abstract excerpt

In the multi-cellular community, cells with different properties often compete with each other for survival and space. This process is named cell competition and was originally discovered in Drosophila. Recent studies have revealed that comparable phenomena also occur in mammals under various physiological and pathological conditions. Within the epithelium, normal cells often recognize the presence of the...
