How Does Cellular Communication Impact Tissue Function?
Cellular communication is fundamental for tissue homeostasis and function. Key aspects include:
Signal Transduction: Processes by which cells respond to external signals, often involving receptor-ligand interactions. Intercellular Junctions: Structures like gap junctions and tight junctions that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. Extracellular Matrix (ECM): Provides structural support and mediates biochemical signals.
