  • Cell-Cell Communication
    Nov 17 2024
    Cell-Cell Communication is a fundamental process that is essential for the regulation of metabolism in various organs. Through hormones of the endocrine system, signals are chemically transmitted through the bloostream between different organs. The outcome of a hormone binding its specific receptor in target tissues can produce profound effects on metabolism. Insulin and its effects on the liver, is used as an example of the outcome of communication between the pancreas and the liver.
