cell-to-cell signaling - (pronounced) (sel-zu-sel SIG-nuh-ling) The transfer of information from one cell to another. Cells signal each other through direct contact with each other or through the release of a substance from one cell that is taken up by another cell. Cell-to-cell signaling is important for cells to grow and function normally. Cells that lose the ability to respond to signals from other cells can become cancerous. Also called cell-to-cell signaling and intercellular communication
