Could be between cells or between cells and the environment (ECM, for example). This refers to the process of induction. b. Opposing inhibitory and stimulatory signals are often involved in controlling cell fate. c. There are many steps between a naïve cell and its final fate. This refers to the progression from determination to differentiation. Here are some (overlapping) categories to work with, but do not be constrained by these!
