Abstract

Two phenomena central to embryological thinking have been the processes of regulation and of inductive tissue interactions. Both of these represent embryological communication between cells. In the case of regulation, the cells of a mass must let each other know where they are in relation to each other so that in some way the total group of cells differentiates as a harmonious single structure. In the instance of embryonic induction, one group of cells influences another group, usually of a dissimilar type, to differentiate in a new direction, and this induction usually is reciprocal in manner. Bonner has used the term “chemical conversation” to describe the communication system of differentiating cells [1], a term which seems ideal since it portrays a picture without defining the medium used to create it [2].
