Can increasing the winding number of a 2-cell make a CW complex embeddable?
Let $X$ be a 2-dimensional CW complex and let $c\subset X$ be a 2-cell attached along a simple closed loop $\gamma$ in the 1-skeleton $X^{(1)}$.
For a natural number $n\ge 2$ consider the operation of ...

When does a CW-complex of dimension 2 embed in $\Bbb R^4$?
Let $X$ be a finite CW-complex of dimension two having just one 0-cell
(+ finitely many 1-cells + finitely many 2-cells).
Is it true that X can be embedded in $\Bbb R^4$?
If true, is it due to ...
