namespace: biological_process
def: "The transfer of information from one cell to another, where the signal travels from the signal-producing cell to the receiving cell by passive diffusion or bulk flow in intercellular fluid. The signaling cell and the receiving cell are usually in the vicinity of each other." [GOC:mtg_signaling_feb11, ISBN:3527303782]
comment: This term should be used with caution, and only used when the signaling between cells has been clearly distinguished from endocrine signaling.
