How Do Intrinsic Factors Influence Cellular Differentiation?
Cellular differentiation is heavily influenced by intrinsic factors. The specific pattern of gene expression in a cell, driven by its intrinsic genetic and epigenetic landscape, determines its fate. For example, stem cells have the intrinsic ability to differentiate into various cell types based on their internal genetic cues and regulatory networks. Thus, intrinsic factors are key to understanding how cells specialize and develop into complex tissues.
