Unicellular life balances asymmetric allocation and repair of somatic damage representing the origin of r/K selection
2023-11-21
Abstract excerpt
Over the course of multiple divisions, cells accumulate diverse non-genetic, somatic damage including misfolded and aggregated proteins and cell wall defects. If the rate of damage accumulation exceeds the rate of dilution through cell growth, a dedicated mitigation strategy is required to prevent eventual population collapse. Strategies for somatic damage control can be divided into two categories, asymmetric all...
