nabosignalering
Nabosignalering, often translated as neighbor signaling, is a phenomenon observed in biological systems where cells communicate with their immediate surroundings to coordinate activities. This communication typically involves the release of signaling molecules by a cell, which then diffuse a short distance to bind with receptors on neighboring cells. These receptors then trigger a response within the receiving cell, influencing its behavior, gene expression, or differentiation.
The concept is fundamental to understanding tissue development, immune responses, and wound healing. For instance, during
The signaling molecules involved in nabosignalering can vary widely, including small peptides, lipids, and even ions.
