Abstract
Cells have the capacity to emit as well as to receive, decode, and transmit information efficiently, and to integrate new signals. Any cell experiences numerous, simultaneous or successive, events that result from permanent, regulated communications between it and adjoining cells and the extracellular matrix as well as remote controller cells of the nervous and endocrine systems, in addition to immunocytes. Cell signaling not only governs basic cellular activities, but also coordinates actions of cell populations.
