Cell competition is a process by which cells with different properties compete with each
other for survival and space, and consequently suboptimal/abnormal cells are often …

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

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 …

Viable cells with reduced fitness are often eliminated by neighboring cells with greater
fitness. This phenomenon, called cell competition, is an important mechanism for …

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 …

During embryonic development or under certain pathological conditions, viable but
suboptimal cells are often eliminated from the cellular society through a process termed cell …

Tissue growth and regeneration are autonomous, stem-cell-mediated processes in which
stem cells within the organ self-renew and differentiate to create new cells, leading to new …

In multicellular organisms, incidentally emerging suboptimal cells are removed to maintain
homeostasis of tissues. The unfavorable cells are excluded by a process termed cell …

During cell competition fitter cells take over the tissue at the expense of viable, but less fit,
cells, which are eliminated by induction of apoptosis or senescence. This probably acts as a …

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 …
