Embryonic Communication and Survival Rates
This chapter explores how the survival rates of embryos improve with increased group sizes, revealing the critical influence of cohort numbers on experimental outcomes. It highlights novel findings on the communication mechanisms between embryos, suggesting a collective approach to embryonic development that challenges traditional views on genome inheritance. Additionally, the discussion connects these biological insights to potential applications in anthrobots and biomedical fields, emphasizing the complexity of signaling processes in both embryonic and inter-species communication.
