      Specialization or cellular differenciation (please correct me if these are two different concepts) is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type, changing dramatically a cell’s size, shape, membrane potential, metabolic activity, and responsiveness to signals. Now, do you know how this happens? Please be as specific as possible.

      I don’t think, this is epigenetics. It’s just change in gene expression…
