➤ How do genes and signals control differentiation?
Gene regulatory networks and signaling pathways coordinate differentiation. Transcription factors activate or repress lineage-specific genes. Epigenetic marks — DNA methylation and histone modifications — stabilize cell identity. Extracellular signals like Wnt, Notch, BMP, and growth factors provide positional information, while cell adhesion and mechanical cues shape fate decisions.
