InterCell

Intercell is a term that can refer to more than one topic. In biology, intercell is sometimes used as a shorthand for intercellular, describing processes, signals, or structures that occur between cells. The established term is intercellular. Intercellular communication coordinates tissue function through signaling molecules, receptors, and structural junctions. Mechanisms include gap junctions, paracrine and endocrine signaling, and autocrine signaling. The intercellular space also contains components of the extracellular matrix that influence cell adhesion and migration. In common usage, diagrams or notes may label regions as "intercell" to indicate the space or interactions between adjacent cells; however, the formal terminology is intercellular.

Intercell as a proper noun refers to a biotechnology company formerly known as Intercell AG. The company focused on vaccines and immunotherapies, emphasizing research in infectious diseases and immune-mediated conditions. It operated in the European biotech sector, engaging in research collaborations, licensing deals, and development programs intended to translate basic immunology into therapeutic candidates. Over time the Intercell entity underwent corporate restructurings that led to its assets and programs being integrated into other companies or brands, ending its separate corporate existence under that name.
