celnaarcel
Celnaarcel refers to intercellular communication and interaction between neighboring cells, essential for the coordinated function of multicellular organisms. It encompasses direct cell contact, signaling molecules, and the transfer of materials that allow cells to influence each other's behavior and fate.
Direct contact mechanisms include gap junctions in animals, formed by connexin or pannexin channels that permit
Roles and importance: celnaarcel signaling guides tissue patterning during development, maintains homeostasis, coordinates immune responses, and
Dysregulation of intercellular signaling is linked to diseases such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and neurodegeneration. Because
