The Molecular Basis of Communication between Cells.
Snyder, Solomon H.
Scientific American, v253 n4 p132-40 Oct 1985
Chemical messengers mediate long-range hormonal communication and short-range neural communication between cells. Background information on peptides, steroids, neuropeptides, and specialized enzymes is given. Investigations reveal that the two systems have many common intercellular messenger molecules. (DH)
