    GlossaryIntercellular Communication

    exchange of information between cells through signaling molecules

    Intercellular communication refers to the process by which cells in the body exchange information with each other. This can occur through direct contact or by releasing signaling molecules, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, which bind to receptors on other cells. This communication is crucial for coordinating various functions, including growth, immune responses, and tissue repair.
