Cell differentiation occurs through changes in gene expression
Ultimately, determination and differentiation occur due to differential gene expression, which results from signal transduction.

Cell differentiation involves in wide range of mechanisms
Molecular biology of differentiation (genetics and epigenetic regulation;
• Hedgehog (HH) pathway, • Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway, • Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) pathway, • Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway, • Epidermal growth factor (EGF) pathway, • Retinoic acid pathway,视黄酸信号通路 • Wingless (Wnt/Wg) pathway, • Notch pathway, • G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) pathway.
