Description
This work on intercellular communication is based on the 25 papers presented at the third USSR Workshop on the subject, held in 1988 in Lithuania (the workshops are held every four years). Among the topics covered in the first section, on mechanisms and functions, are interactions through permeable cell-to-cell junctions in cultivated mammalian cells; energetics of local cell-to-cell interactions in phototrophic organisms; and the mechanisms of initial cell reactions at cellular interactions in the syngenic and allogenic systems. In the second section on cell-to-cell coupling, some topics addressed are the inhibition of intercellular communication and tumour promoting screening; the role of the structural lability of membranes in the regulation of intercellular communications and energetic functions of permeable intercellular junctions. In the third and fourth sections, material on the mechanisms of cell fusions and cell-to-cell coupling of the heart are covered.
