Cell Signalling Impact Factor

Cell signaling is the process of cellular communication within the body that is driven by cells releasing and receiving hormones, as well as other signals. Cell signaling as a process refers to a vast network of communication between each cell of our body, and within it. Cell signaling allows for coordination among multicellular organisms. Cell signaling can take place through a number of different pathways but the overall theme is that one cell 's actions influence another's function. Multicellular organisms need cell signaling to coordinate a wide array of functions. To create movement, nerve cells must communicate with muscle cells, immune cells must avoid destroying body cells and cells must organize during a baby's development. Intracellular are some forms of cell signaling, while intercellular are other. The same cell which receives the signal produces the intracellular signals. Intercellular signals, on the other hand, can travel all over the body. This allows certain glands within the body to generate signals that act on many different tissues throughout the body. Each target cell has the receptors it requires.
