The bile ducts commence by little passages in the liver cells which communicate with canaliculi termed intercellular biliary passages (bile capillaries). ❋ Unknown (1918)

A nonliving material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A research team led by Andre Levchenko of the Whiting School of Engineering has shed light on a previously poorly understood method of cell-cell communication called intercellular transfer of cellular components (ICT). ❋ Unknown (2009)

"Steroids exert direct inhibitory effects on the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular endothelial cells such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1, E-selectin, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, all of which are thought to be involved in the early process of atherosclerosis," explains Dr Otsuki. ❋ Unknown (2010)

We have a common ancestor that evolved intercellular signalling (for e.g. colonialism, mating), a function which was expanded in certain lineages, (esp. metazoans that used those signally functions to coordinate across specialized tissues). ❋ Unknown (2009)

He asserts that specifically human consciousness emerges from "the flux of intercellular signals that neurons give rise to"— without making it clear how this happens. ❋ Raymond Tallis (2011)

If one considers that the human body is 70-80 percent water, perhaps the best way to provide pharmacological information to the body and into intercellular fluids is with nanodoses. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Given that multicellular life exists, and that they descended from primitive, single-celled organisms, we can then predict that they evolved through intermediate forms that had varying levels of intercellular cooperation and communication. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The idea is that closely related cells can gain an advantage by intercellular communication. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Under saturating light conditions at low levels of intercellular CO2, assimilation is limited by the quantity and activity of rubisco, the enzyme that is primarily responsible for capturing atmospheric carbon in the production of sugars. ❋ Unknown (2009)

At high levels of intercellular CO2, the enzymatically controlled rate of carbohydrate synthesis, which affects the phosphate regeneration that is necessary for harvesting light energy, may regulate the fixation of carbon [94]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The nematode spits molecules into the altered cell, which form themselves into a sort of intercellular straw, which it uses to suck up the food being pumped in from the rest of the plant. ❋ Carl Zimmer (2009)

Theoretically, lipophilic, or fatty, molecules can penetrate fat easily—taking an intercellular approach meaning that they move in between the cells through the fatty lipids mortar. ❋ Ellen Marmur (2009)
