A conventional view of development is that cells cooperate to build an organism. However,
based on studies of Drosophila, it has been known for years that viable cells can be …

Cell competition is a homeostatic process designed to remove from animal tissues viable
cells that are unfit, abnormal or malignant and that may compromise the general fitness or …

Cell competition is a context‐dependent cell elimination through short‐range cell–cell
interaction, in which cells with higher fitness eliminate neighboring less‐fit or oncogenic …

Cell competition is the short-range elimination of slow-dividing cells through apoptosis when
confronted with a faster growing population. It is based on the comparison of relative cell …

Cellular communication is at the heart of animal development, and guides the specification
of cell fates, the movement of cells within and between tissues, and the coordinated …

It is self-evident that cell–cell interactions play important roles in multicellular organisms.
Genetic mosaics and chimeras, containing cells of distinct genotypes, have long provided an …

Cell-competitive interactions are widespread in nature and determine the outcome of a vast
variety of biological processes. A particular class of competitive interactions takes place …

Cell competition is a biological mechanism conserved from Drosophila to vertebrates
wherein neighboring cells compare their relative fitness status resulting in the elimination of …

The possibility that cells of multicellular organisms may compete with one another has been
postulated several times. It was experimentally confirmed in Drosophila, probably for the first …

The growth and survival of cells within tissues can be affected by 'cell competition'between
different cell clones. This phenomenon was initially recognized between wild-type cells and …
