Cell-cell interaction refers to the direct interactions between cells that play a role in the development and function of multicellular organisms.^[1] Interactions between cells can be stable cell junctions involved in the organization of tissues or transient, such as the interactions between cells of the immune system or the interactions involved in tissue inflammation.^[1]. These types of intercellular interactions are distinguished from other types of interactions, such as those between cells and the extracellular matrix.
