    GlossaryLocal Signaling

    cells communicate with nearby cells using signaling molecules

    Local signaling refers to the process by which cells communicate with nearby cells through the release of signaling molecules. This type of communication is crucial for coordinating activities such as tissue repair, immune responses, and the regulation of hair growth. For example, in the context of hair biology, local signaling can influence the behavior of hair follicle cells, potentially affecting conditions like alopecia.
