Cell differentiation: The development of cells in different ways to carry out specific human functions. This can cause specialized tissues. Often a group of cells specialize in the same way to carry out a certain function.

Cellular differentiation is the process in which a cell changes from one cell type to another. Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as it changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell.
