Differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized in structure and function.
-In healthy tissues, cells undergo differentiation to become specialized types (e.g., muscle cells, neurons, blood cells) that perform specific functions. This process is tightly regulated by genetic and epigenetic factors.
-In some cases, cells can lose their specialized characteristics, a process known as dedifferentiation. This is often seen in cancer, where tumor cells revert to a more primitive, less differentiated state.
