The 13 pages that link to Paracrine signaling, each with the reason it gives.

• CytokineRelated: Cytokines often coordinate immune activity among neighboring cells.

• Endocrine systemCompared with: It contrasts with endocrine signals that travel through circulation to distant targets.

• SynapseCompared with: It resembles local synaptic communication but does not require a specialized junction.

• Signal transductionCompared with: It distinguishes local signal delivery from the transduction that follows reception.

• Cell signalingCompared with: Its short-range action differs from hormone delivery across the body.

• HormoneCompared with: Some hormones act locally, unlike the distant signaling typical of endocrine action.

• Interstitial fluidRelated: Interstitial fluid provides a medium through which local signaling molecules can spread.

• Exocrine glandCompared with: Unlike glandular duct delivery, paracrine signals diffuse locally between cells.

• Pancreatic isletNarrower topic: Islet hormones can regulate neighboring endocrine cells before entering the circulation.

• Endocrine glandCompared with: Some endocrine cells release hormones locally rather than primarily into the bloodstream.

• Endocrine cellCompared with: Some endocrine cells signal chiefly to neighboring cells rather than through the bloodstream.

• SecretomeRelated: Secreted molecules can shape neighboring cells without entering the bloodstream.

• Neurosecretory systemsCompared with: Some neurosecretory molecules act locally rather than traveling through blood.
