Cells hetero-grafted from tissue in one phase of the segmentation clock into a different phase synchronize to the host phase (Horikawa et al. 2006)

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Zebrafish segmentation clock re-emerges after chemical disruption and produces properly spaced segments (Uriu et al. 2021)finding0.769
  Robust re-emergence of coordinated oscillations indicates intrinsic intelligence of the segmenting tissue.
• Target morphology shifts occur despite the fact that all of the individual cells have unaltered normal genomes, showing that competent subunits can be pushed to implement diverse organism-scale goals by physiological signals.claim0.767
  Highlights the non-genetic control of large-scale anatomy.
• Gastruloids derived from embryonic stem cells arrive at a segmented target morphology despite very different ontogenic history (Veenvliet et al. 2020, van den Brink et al. 2020)finding0.750
  Shows that the segmentation goal can be reached via alternative developmental pathways, fitting James' definition of intelligence.
• Pre-somitic mesoderm cells do not oscillate independently but resume oscillating when cultured collectively (Webb et al. 2016)finding0.747
  Collectivity is necessary for the oscillatory behavior of the segmentation clock; individual cells lack the competence.
• Ion channel-modified cells recruit neighbors to complete eye organogenesisfinding0.741
  Ectopic eyes induced by ion channel misexpression; if few cells injected, they recruit unmanipulated neighbors to produce normal-sized eyes—collective recruitment competency.
• Keratocytes migrate to the cathode, but keratocyte fragments migrate to the anode (Sun et al. 2013)finding0.738
  Shows that collective behavior of an intact cell differs fundamentally from the behavior of its parts.
• Suppression of cancer phenotypes despite strong oncogenic mutations via forced bioelectrical connections among cells, overriding single-cell goals with morphogenetic ones.finding0.735
  Empirical demonstration that bioelectric network topology, not genetic state, determines whether cellular optimization occurs at single-cell (cancer) vs. organ level.
• Grafted neural crest cell collectives maintain original Hox gene expression, while individual cells adopt neighbors' expression (Trainor and Krumlauf 2000)finding0.733
  Collectives have increased positional memory and resist environmental induction, demonstrating expanded perceptual field in time dimension.
