Short and Long-Distance Cell Signaling
Connecting Cells Near and Far
Cellular communication is a fundamental biological process that allows cells to work together in a coordinated manner, ensuring the proper functioning of multicellular organisms. This communication can take place between cells that are relatively close to each other or cells that are separated by significant distances. The distance between these cells plays a crucial role in determining the mechanisms and modes of cellular communication, as the methods by which signaling molecules traverse these distances differ…
