This is quite common in cellular differentiation. Say a tissue needs a few cells of a certain type, roughly evenly spaced throughout. One strategy to achieve this is for all cells in the region to have a tendancy towards developing those characteristics, but also for the quickest to do so to simultaneously produce a messaging molecule that suppresses that tendency in its near neighbours. |
