What is another word for dorsalization?
Pronunciation: [dˌɔːsəla͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Dorsalization is a term used in developmental biology to describe the process by which cells or tissues become specialized to form the dorsal side of an organism. This term can be replaced by a variety of synonyms, including dorsal induction, dorsal fate specification, and dorsal patterning. These terms are all related to the process of dorsalization, which involves the activation of genetic pathways that promote the formation of dorsal structures and the suppression of pathways that promote ventral formation. Understanding the synonyms for dorsalization can help researchers better understand the complex processes involved in the development of animals and the genetic pathways that regulate patterning in embryonic tissue.
