From zygote to a multicellular soma: body size affects optimal growth strategies under cancer risk

2019-12-16

Abstract excerpt

Multicellularity evolved independently in multiple lineages, yielding organisms with a wide range of adult sizes. Building an intact soma is not a trivial task, when dividing cells accumulate damage. Here, we study ‘ontogenetic management strategies’, i.e. rules of dividing, differentiating and killing somatic cells, to examine two questions. First, do these rules evolve differently for organisms differing in the...
