Juxtacrine refers to a type of cell signaling where signaling molecules are exchanged directly between adjacent cells, via short-range protein-protein interactions. This process occurs between cells that are in close proximity, usually within the same tissue or organ, and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including development, differentiation, and immune responses. In contrast to other forms of cell signaling, such as endocrine signaling which involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream, juxtacrine signaling is more localized and specific, allowing for precise control and rapid communication between adjacent cells.
