Zellarchitektur
Zellarchitektur refers to the spatial organization and arrangement of cells within a multicellular organism. This concept goes beyond simply the types of cells present and delves into how these cells are structured, interconnected, and positioned relative to each other to form tissues, organs, and ultimately the entire organism. It encompasses the three-dimensional layout, the patterns of cell division and differentiation, and the extracellular matrix that provides structural support and mediates cell-cell communication.
The principles of Zellarchitektur are fundamental to understanding biological function. Different arrangements of cells can lead
Furthermore, deviations from normal Zellarchitektur are often indicative of disease. Cancer, for example, is characterized by
