rakkudevahelisi
Rakkudevahelisi refers to phenomena or processes that occur between cells within a multicellular organism. This term, derived from Finnish, highlights the interconnectedness and communication that are essential for the proper functioning of tissues and organs. These interactions can involve a variety of mechanisms, including direct cell-to-cell contact, the release of signaling molecules into the extracellular space, or the transfer of materials through specialized junctions.
One significant aspect of rakkudevahelisi is intercellular signaling. Cells communicate with each other using chemical messengers
Another key component of rakkudevahelisi involves physical connections between cells. Gap junctions, for example, form channels
