Aspects regarding cell specialization
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to suggest a theoretical model for cell specialization.We postulated that the specialization is acquired through two fundamental mechanisms:
Differentiation (which shapes the structure of the cell);
Activation (which determines the cell to start functioning).
A special kind of activation process is the “Brain Activation” process, as the function of the brain is not solely generating electrical impulses, but also mental processes.
