From zygote to a multicellular soma: Body size affects optimal growth strategies under cancer risk
Abstract Multicellularity evolved independently in multiple lineages, yielding organisms with a wide range of adult sizes. Building an intact soma is not a trivial task, when dividing cells accumulate damage. Here, we study “ontogenetic management strategies,” that is rules of dividing, differentiat...
