Developmental stability and signalling among cells.

Abstract excerpt

The production of stable phenotypes depends from the earliest stages of development upon high levels of somatic cellular selection amongst cells or cell lineages. The signals exchanged amongst cells can reveal important aspects of a cell's phenotype, and might thereby be used in darwinian processes of developmental selection. Based upon an optimality model, we suggest that stable phenotypes require a substantial...
