cellsallowing
Cellsallowing is a neologism used in some discussions of engineered cellular systems to denote the design or property of enabling controlled exchange of molecules across cellular boundaries. It describes approaches that fine-tune intercellular permeability or communication to support coordinated behavior in multicellular constructs, such as engineered tissues, microbial consortia, or biosensing devices.
Mechanisms commonly associated with cellsallowing include engineered channels or transporters that selectively permit movement of ions,
Applications span regenerative medicine, metabolic coupling in microbial consortia, improved signal propagation in biosensors, and organ-on-a-chip
Limitations include the complexity of multicellular environments, potential off-target effects, stability of expressed transport elements, immune
