Unclear wording/structure in "Cell signaling in multicellular organisms"
In the second paragraph, last sentence, "...although non-exhaustive and with imprecise boundaries, as such membership is non-exclusive and depends on the context:" could be worded differently to be a easier to read and understand, it seems out of place compared to the reading level of the rest of the article. After the bullet point "hormones", the beginning of the sentence is clear, but the end of the sentence that says, "...or failing that, structurally related molecules are (e.g. PTHrP)." should be revised or removed because the information/wording is unclear. Additionally The sentence should probably be broken up into two sentences, if the part of the sentence stated above is revised. For example, "Hormones are the major signaling molecules of the endocrine system, though they often regulate each other's secretion via local signaling (e.g. islet of Langerhans cells). Most are expressed in tissues for local purposes..." The third paragraph, second sentence, could probably be broken up into two sentences for a clearer read.Kadedoss (talk) 03:23, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Some parts of the article appear to be a little lengthy in their explanations and most likely confusing for a reader with little prior knowledge. It would be helpful if it were a little more concise. Amacmanus (talk) 20:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Amacmanus

Conciseness
Some sections are a little lengthy and unclear for the average reader with no extensive education on the topic. Amacmanus (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Amacmanus

Merge proposal 2006
Three cell biology textbooks (see References section) use the terms Cell signaling, Cell communication or Cell-to-cell signaling as titles for chapters about how cells communicate. Wikipedia also has Intercellular communication. I suggest that the "Cell signaling" and "Intercellular communication" articles be merged into Cell signaling. Data in the table below show that "Cell signaling" is used most often in Wikipedia. --JWSchmidt 21:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I realize this was suggested over a decade ago. But yes, I agree. I myself prefer cell communication but cell signaling is fine too. danielkueh (talk) 00:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, I'm referring to cell communication (biology), which is a new page that cropped up in 2015 and appears to be based on a student's work. danielkueh (talk) 20:16, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I merged the pages. See new discussion thread below (Talk:Cell_signaling). danielkueh (talk) 21:53, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
