What are the Mechanisms of Cellular Communication in Development?
Cellular communication is essential for coordinating development across tissues and organs. Cells communicate through direct contact or by releasing signaling molecules that bind to receptors on target cells. These interactions trigger intracellular signaling cascades that influence cellular behavior. Key signaling pathways involved in development include the Wnt, Hedgehog, and Notch pathways, each playing a unique role in guiding cells to their final fates.
