Cell to Cell communication

Imahe
Cell–cell interaction refers to the direct interactions between cell surfaces that play a crucial role in the development and function of multicellular organisms. These interactions allow cells to communicate with each other in response to changes in their microenvironment. This ability to send and receive signals is essential for the survival of the cell. Interactions between cells can be stable such as those made through cell junctions . These junctions are involved in the communication and organization of cells within a tissue. Others are transient or temporary such as those between cells of the immune system or the interactions involved in tissue inflammation . These types of intercellular interactions are distinguished from other types such as those between cells and the extracellular matrix . The loss of communication between cells can result in uncontrollable cell growth and cancer. Several types of cell junctions. In this diagram, the interface between neighboring ...

Cell to cell communication through a blend of specific plant saccharides called glyconutrients

Imahe
Essential sugars, or ‘good sugars’ as they are also known, are the glyconutrients that we get from nutritious fruits and vegetables. They are also known as Biological Sugars, Saccharides, and Mono-saccharides. Glyconutrients are part of an even broader category known as Nutraceuticals. The words nutrition and pharmaceuticals are combined in this word because they are food-based substances that have a pharmacological effect on the body. There are eight essential sugars  needed  for proper cell functioning.   All  of them are required for our cells to interact and function properly. After being processed by our digestive system, these sugars are transformed into glycoproteins and glycolipids. Glycoproteins are molecules made of sugars and proteins found coating the surface of every cell in the human body that contains a nucleus. Glycolipids are molecules made of sugars and fats. Lipids is often a term used to refer to fat cells. Glycoproteins and glycolipi...
