Cellular Sovereignty

Meaning

Cellular sovereignty refers to a cell’s inherent capacity to maintain its structural integrity, functional identity, and homeostatic balance within a complex biological environment. This involves the cell’s ability to appropriately respond to internal and external cues, ensuring its programmed role is executed while resisting pathological alterations or unwarranted external influences. It represents the cell’s autonomous yet integrated existence within a tissue or organ system.
