- Title
Defining the interorgan communication network: systemic coordination of organismal cellular processes under homeostasis and localized stress.
- Authors
Droujinine, Ilia A.; Perrimon, Norbert
- Abstract
The author reflects on the emerging data supporting the existence of a vast interorgan communication network (ICN) of peptides, proteins, and metabolites that act between organs to coordinate essential and specialized cellular processes under homeostasis and stress. He mentions that there is growing evidence that many organismal functions mediate various aspects of interorgan communication through secreted factors.
