[ISBN:0198547684] EOG8MPM3X GO:0046331 1/98 lateral inhibition biological_process "Signaling between cells of equivalent developmental potential that results in these cells adopting different developmental fates. An example is the suppression by cells with a particular fate of the adoption of the same fate by surrounding cells."
