However, the cell-cell interaction can also take place at a distance via cytokines.
They are involved in cell-cell interactions and plant defence.
"It's one of the most intricate and exquisite cell-cell interactions there is," Fields said.
Filopodia have roles in sensing, migration and cell-cell interactions.
Cancer can result from the loss of cell-cell interaction.
Glycoproteins are often important integral membrane proteins, where they play a role in cell-cell interactions.
In explant cultures (which allow direct cell-cell interactions) the same cells differentiate into epidermis.
Siglecs that can bind trans-ligands, such as Sialoadhesin, allow cell-cell interactions to take place.
This initiates cell-cell interactions in the absence of any artificial surface or matrix.
The onset of cell-cell interaction takes place as soon as cells levitate, and 3D structures start to form.
