Abstract

 

This talk will provide a brief introduction to cell communication – why cells need to communicate, and how.  Different basic `styles' of cell signaling will then be presented.  One example, of a one-dimension model for an array of autocrine cells interacting via diffusive signaling, is investigated in detail, and it is shown how, under relevant assumptions, the model can be reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations.
