Description
This anthology focuses on the specialization of cells in living organisms, the path to specialization, and natural and artificial modes of the process of specialization. All living things begin as single-celled organisms and all living things must carry out the same processes. Scientists are still attempting to uncover how these processes work. This thought-provoking volume provides the most cutting-edge theories and information on what is known about the path to specialization, cloning, tissue regeneration, and creating synthetic life-forms.
