Abstract

Cell extrusion is a morphogenetic process in which unfit or dying cells are eliminated from the tissue at the interface with healthy neighbours in homeostasis. This process is also highly associated with cell fate specification followed by differentiation in development. Spontaneous cell death occurs in development and inhibition of this process can result in abnormal development, suggesting that survival or death is part of cell fate specification during morphogenesis. Moreover, spontaneous somatic mutations in oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes can trigger new morphogenetic events at the interface with healthy cells. Cell competition is considered as the global quality control mechanism for causing unfit cells to be eliminated at the interface with healthy neighbours in proliferating tissues. In this review, I will discuss variations of cell extrusion that are coordinated by unfit cells and healthy neighbours in relation to the geometry and topology of the tissue in development and cell competition.
