- Shows diverse molecular mechanisms serve higher-level anatomical specification despite radical changes in cell size and quantity.
- Shows multi-scale anatomical homeostasis using different cellular mechanisms.
- When cell size was doubled, tubules used fewer cells; when quadrupled, a single cell formed the tubule by cytoskeletal deformation, maintaining correct lumen diameter.
- Single newt cell can wrap around itself to form a kidney tubule when cell size is artificially increased.finding0.804From Fankhauser (1945), demonstrates diverse molecular mechanisms serving a higher-level anatomical specification.
- Extreme example of regulative flexibility.
- When cell size is artificially enlarged, tubule formation adapts by reducing cell count and eventually using cytoskeletal bending within one cell.
- From Fankhauser 1945; illustrates top-down control where large-scale morphology is maintained despite drastically wrong cell size.
