Cell Positioning

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Receptors and Recognition ((RERE,volume 4))

Abstract

The term cell positioning refers to the processes which determine the placing of one cell type with respect to another. The term ‘cell recognition’ is often used loosely for these phenomena but it is rather objectionable partly because of its anthropomorphism and also because it refers to other phenomena as well, such as the capture of degraded serum proteins by certain liver cell types.
