a: cellular differentiation ~
b: ball rolls down a landscape
What:
"Waddington, in his proposed epigenetic landscape, envisioned that cellular differentiation is like a ball rolls down a landscape of hills with valleys where the endpoint of each valley represent a discrete cell type. The potential of the ball (cell) to choose different valleys (cell fates) gradually decreased at each bifurcation point."
