General Information
Term cell-cell signaling ID (Ontology) GO:0007267 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. This process includes signal transduction in the receiving cell and, where applicable, release of a ligand and any processes that actively facilitate its transport and presentation to the receiving cell. Examples include signaling via soluble ligands, via cell adhesion molecules and via gap junctions.
Also Known As "cell-cell signalling"
