The idea that gravity affects dorso-ventral polarization in anouran development contrasts with the theories of self-organization through reaction-diffusion processes. As a result of a literature study we discuss the role of gravity in embryological axis formation and speculate on an influence of gravity on tissue compartmentalization. The involvement of compartmentalization in tissue homeostasis is discussed in the light of the recent progress in mammalian cell culture studies.
重力影响无尾类动物发育中背腹极化的观点与通过反应扩散过程进行自组织的理论形成对比。通过文献研究，我们讨论了重力在胚胎轴形成中的作用，并推测了重力对组织分隔的影响。鉴于哺乳动物细胞培养研究的最新进展，我们讨论了分隔在组织稳态中的作用。
