Cells interact in various different ways and on multiple length-scales. The interaction of a cell with its tissue niche can be described through cell communication events. To understand these events, researchers around the world create models, based on different strategies. The knowledge is crucial to understand and identify emerging phenomena in tissue microenvironments, such as genetic changes in a tumor.
