navigator theories

Navigator theories explore how cells and organisms find their way or coordinate their actions, much like a navigator guiding a ship. In biology, these theories look at how cells locate each other or target specific areas, often using chemical signals or physical cues. For example, during development or healing, cells follow gradients of signaling molecules to reach the right place. These mechanisms ensure proper growth, organization, and function within an organism. In essence, navigator theories describe the biological "maps" and guidance systems that coordinate movement and positioning at cellular and organismal levels.
