What is the cell-autonomous definition and how does it impact the functioning of individual cells within a biological system?

Cell-autonomous refers to a characteristic of a cell that allows it to function independently within a biological system, without being influenced by neighboring cells. This means that the cell can carry out its own processes and functions without direct communication or interaction with other cells. This autonomy can impact the functioning of individual cells by allowing them to respond to internal signals and stimuli, regulate their own activities, and adapt to changes in their environment without relying on external signals from neighboring cells.
