How do individual cells know they are a part of a system and whether or not to stop or start producing new cells?
That's fascinating! But how do individual cells know that they are a part of a system?
Cells are able to communicate with one another through chemical signals. These signals can alert neighboring cells to any changes in their own environment. Through this process, individual cells are able to sense when they are no longer functioning as part of a larger system and can make the necessary adjustments to their behavior to compensate.
