cellular communication
Tower-based wireless calls
Cellular communication refers to the transmission of signals between cells in a living organism, enabling coordination of biological processes like immune responses, growth, and tissue repair.
Cells communicate through chemical messengers, direct contact, or electrical signals.
The term also applies to mobile phone technology, where communication occurs through a network of radio transmitters called cells.
Researchers study cellular communication to understand how cancer spreads.
