The Importance of Inherency in Plasticity
Inherency is the ability of cells to be dynamic and plastic depending on the environmental context or type of organism they're found in. So we think a lot about that type of context dependency in the framework of phenotypic plasticity. Stuart: I find this idea really fascinating, but Cam and I have talked, we prepare for these episodes and one of the things that came up in our conversation was what's the difference between physical constraint versus inheurrency because of the underlying physics? Is there a difference there that's important? Well I think that a constraint says that it's a limiting factor, if something is an enabling factor, like if I told you that a massive tissue, if
