Cell-cell interactions involve the cell surface, extracellular matrix or cell wall, and connections between cells. Neighboring plant cells are joined by plasmodesmata, which allow sharing of cytoplasm, while animal cells use tight junctions and desmosomes. Gap junctions and plasmodesmata form direct connections, and hormones facilitate long-distance communication between distant cells.

دیواره سلولی، شکل ویژهای از ماتریس خارج سلولی است که هر سلول گیاه را احاطه کرده است. دیواره سلولی مسئول بسیاری از خصوصیاتی است که سلولهای گیاهی را از سلولهای حیوانی متمایز میکند. در سلولهای حیوانی داستان متفاوت است! بافتهای مختلف دارای اجزا و سازمان منحصر به فرد و تخصصی ماتریس خارج سلولی (ECM) هستند، که هر ECM را قادر میسازند تا نقشهای خاص بافتی، از جمله پشتیبانی ساختاری، انتقال نیروها و فیلتراسیون ماکرومولکولی را انجام دهد.

Cell wall, specialized form of extracellular matrix that surrounds every cell of a plant. The cell wall is responsible for many of the characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells. In animal cells, the story is different! Different tissues have unique and specialized Extracellular Matrix (ECM) components and organization, which enables each ECM to carry out tissue-specific roles, including structural support, the transmission of forces and macromolecular filtration.
Cell Structures and Functions In pathology.pptxVictory120660
Cell structure and function are fundamental to understanding biology. Here's a broad overview:
1. **Cell Structure:**
- **Cell Membrane:** Acts as a barrier, controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
- **Cytoplasm:** Gel-like substance within the cell where organelles are suspended.
- **Nucleus:** Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.
- **Organelles:** Structures within the cell with specific functions, such as mitochondria (energy production), endoplasmic reticulum (protein synthesis), Golgi apparatus (protein packaging), and lysosomes (digestion).
2. **Cell Function:**
- **Metabolism:** Cells carry out metabolic processes to maintain life, including energy production, nutrient breakdown, and waste removal.
- **Reproduction:** Cells can reproduce through processes like mitosis (cell division) or meiosis (reproductive cell division).
- **Homeostasis:** Cells maintain a stable internal environment by regulating processes like temperature, pH, and nutrient levels.
- **Communication:** Cells communicate with each other through chemical signals, allowing coordination within tissues and organ systems.
- **Differentiation:** Cells specialize into different types with specific functions during development, forming tissues and organs.
- **Response to Stimuli:** Cells can respond to external stimuli, such as light or chemicals, through processes like movement or changes in gene expression.
Understanding cell structure and function is crucial for comprehending biological processes at all levels, from the functioning of individual organisms to the interactions within ecosystems.
Introduction
Think your cells are just simple building blocks, unconscious and static as bricks in a wall? If so, think again! Cells can detect what's going on around them, and they can respond in real time to cues from their neighbors and environment. At this very moment, your cells are sending and receiving millions of messages in the form of chemical signaling molecules!
In this article, we'll examine the basic principles of how cells communicate with one another. We'll first look at how cell-cell signaling works, then consider different kinds of short- and long-range signaling that happen in our bodies.
Overview of cell signaling
Cells typically communicate using chemical signals. These chemical signals, which are proteins or other molecules produced by a sending cell, are often secreted from the cell and released into the extracellular space. There, they can float – like messages in a bottle – over to neighboring cells.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

• Cell-cell communication (long distance)
3. The Cell Surface
• Recall the structure of the plasma (cell) membrane:
– Phospholipid bilayer w/ cholesterol molecules interspersed
– Both integral proteins and peripheral proteins
• Many of which have carbohydrate groups covalently attached!
4. The Extracellular Layer
• Most organisms have an extracellular layer just
exterior to the plasma membrane:
– Provides an extra layer of protection / defense.
– Helps define cell shape.
– Helps attach one cell to a neighboring cell.
• Broad types of extracellular layers:
– Cell wall:
• Surrounds plant, fungi, bacteria, and algal cells.
– Extracellular matrix:

5. The Extracellular Layer
• Usually “fiber composites”:

surrounded by a stiff ground substance.
– Protects cell from stretching (tension) and compression.
6. The Plant Primary Cell Wall
• Fibrous components = Cellulose microfibrils.
• Ground substance = Pectins and other
gelatinous polysaccharides.
7. The Plant Cell Wall
• Primary cell wall:
– Defines shape of plant cell.

wall exerts wall pressure.
• Secondary cell wall:

– Secreted interior to the primary cell wall.
– Can provide tough structural support (contains lignin).
8. The Plant Cell Wall
• Secondary cell wall:
– Contains the durable polymer lignin.
– Found primarily in the xylem (water conducting)
tissue of plants with a true vascular system:
• e.g. Ferns, “evergreen plants,” and flowering plants.
– Adaptation that allows vascular plants to grow tall
and resist the force of gravity:

animals), various types cell-cell attachments
and cell-cell gaps help to connect neighboring
cells within a given tissue.
19. Tight Junctions

22. Cadherins
• A major class of cell adhesion proteins.
• An important component of desmosomes.

cell type often adhere to one another due to
interactions of their cell-type specific cadherins.
23. Cell-Cell Interactions
• The cell surface
