  2. Automatic differentiation and specialization of cells

    Automatic differentiation and specialization of cells; autonomous development.

    • Spermatogenic cells appear to be incapable of autodifferentiation in an anhormonal environment.
    • Undifferentiated gonia undergo autodifferentiation to oocytes in the absence of any hormone.
    • The undifferentiated dorsal skin of the tail bud of a 9—10 day duck embryo, cultured on a natural medium containing embryo extract, underwent autodifferentiation to produce, within 8-10 days, the typical glandular invaginations (7).
