    GlossaryCell Microenvironment

    immediate surroundings influencing cell behavior and function

    The cell microenvironment, also known as the cellular microenvironment, refers to the immediate surroundings of a cell, including the extracellular matrix, neighboring cells, and various signaling molecules. This environment plays a crucial role in regulating cell behavior, function, and fate by providing biochemical and mechanical cues. Understanding the cell microenvironment is essential for fields like tissue engineering, cancer research, and regenerative medicine, as it influences processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and migration.
