I WONDER - How Do Cell Communicate?

Cells in our body communicate using special signals, similar to how we use words. This communication is essential for various body functions, such as growth and wound healing. When an injury occurs, cells send chemical signals to coordinate repair. This signaling is not exclusive to human cells; plants and bacteria also use similar methods. Understanding these processes helps scientists develop new medical treatments.

In addition to human cells, which other organisms use similar communication methods?

How does understanding cell communication benefit scientists?
