Cell-to-cell communication

Cell-to-cell communication has become a hotspot in biological research. By means of genetic engineering, different cell components are able to exchange messages and collaborate to achieve more complicated tasks that are difficult to achieve by a single cell components. To develop the cell-to-cell co...
