SUMMARY:What and how do cells calculate when they decide their fates - Pro

DESCRIPTION:Cell fate decisions play a major role in the building of tissu
 es and organisms. The process depends on the interaction between signallin
 g pathways and transcription factors. I shall discuss the possibility that
  this interaction results in a calculation and will discuss what is being 
 calculated and the structure of the machine that does the calculation. Whi
 le much of the inspiration for this perspective is derived from genetic st
 udies in Drosophila\, our current studies make use of mouse embryonic stem
  cells to probe into the hypothesis and its elements.
