‘Secrete-and-sense cells' can communicate by secreting a signaling molecule while also
producing a receptor that detects the molecule. The cell can potentially ‘talk' to itself (‘self-…

The origin of cooperation is a central challenge to our understanding of evolution 1 , 2 , 3 . The
fact that microbial interactions can be manipulated in ways that animal interactions cannot …
